In this article, we would like to show you how to style only readonly input HTML elements using CSS.

Quick solution:

input:read-only {
    background: yellow;
}

 

Practical example

In this example, we present how to use :read-only pseudo class to style only readonly HTML input elements.

// ONLINE-RUNNER:browser;

<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
  <style>

    input:read-only {
        background: #ffe973;
    }

  </style>
</head>
<body>
  <input type="text" placeholder="e-mail" disabled />
  <input type="text" placeholder="username" readonly />
  <input type="password" placeholder="password" />
</body>
</html>

Alternative solution

This solution may be useful when we want to style only input elements that have readonly and disabled HTML attributes.

// ONLINE-RUNNER:browser;

<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
  <style>

    input[disabled], input[readonly] {
        background: #ffe973;
    }

  </style>
</head>
<body>
  <input type="text" placeholder="e-mail" disabled />
  <input type="text" placeholder="username" readonly />
  <input type="password" placeholder="password" />
</body>
</html>
