Surely adding the 'required="true"' part to a readonly textbox in general is a bad idea. There could well be cases where that textbox doesn't get a value put into it. Then your form won't be submitted and there will be little the user can do about it.

This answer helped me start to discover the difference between disabled & readonly; readonly being what I ultimately needed to prevent user interaction but still submit the prior-entered value. See htmlcodetutorial.com/forms/_INPUT_DISABLED.html
