Thanks for your response.

This is a good idea. But the problem is as follow :
- it doesn't works on all fields (example : MultiListField)
- it is not well implemented on all browsers
- on most browsers, the output is the same for readonly fields and 
editable fields, so the only way to know if we can modify the field is to 
try... it makes the user quite frustrated.
