Readonly Property of text field

Hi,

I need some clarification on readonly property of text field. I have a table and I set one of the columns to text field and changed the readonly property to true assuming when a user clicks on the text field I would use javascript to change the readonly property to false to allow the user to edit the data. But the problem is when I check the readonly property, the column shows redundant data rather than the data in the database. How do I obtain what I intend to? Please help me sort this.

Thanks in advance,

S
