Re: create an input with $form->input() and disable it?

@CraigFisher: I ended up going readonly too - using the field as
disabled was not quite as intuitive as I was hoping. It wasn't any
harder and selecting it for styling it was easy.

@mscdex: I was looking for a generic form related attribute. id would
be a better example than width, but there's probably an option in the
options array for setting the id. Perhaps a rel attribute or
something like that - I can't think if rel is allowed in an input tag,
but I think you get the idea.

Thanks all!
