I am passing a parameter from main dashboard to next view. I want to show that parameter to the user in the label or input type field. If i use Input type="text" , it becomes editable. I want to make this field read only. i have used readonly="readonly" in, but it's not working . please help.

Have this setup in your search app.

dashboard1.xml

<dashboard>
  <label>Dashboard1</label>
  <row>
    <panel>     
     <table>            
<searchString>
        index=_internal | stats count by sourcetype
      </searchString>
      <earliestTime>-60m</earliestTime>
      <latestTime>now</latestTime>
            <drilldown target="My New Window">
           <link>
              /app/search/dashboard2?sourcetype=$row.sourcetype$
            </link>
          </drilldown>
          </table>
        </panel>
      </row>
    </dashboard>

dashboard2.xml

 <dashboard>
  <label>Dashboard2</label>  
  <row>
    <panel>
      <html>
       <h1>$sourcetype$</h1>
      </html>
      <table>
        <search>
          <query>index=_internal sourcetype=$sourcetype$ | stats count</query>
          <earliest>-60m@m</earliest>
          <latest>now</latest>
        </search>
        <option name="wrap">undefined</option>
        <option name="rowNumbers">undefined</option>
        <option name="drilldown">row</option>
      </table>
    </panel>
  </row>
</dashboard>

Add an html element in your dashboard to show read-only content. E.g.

    <form>
  <label>Form name</label>
  <fieldset submitButton="false" autoRun="true">
    <input ..........">
      .........
    </input>
     .........
     ......
    <html>
      <h1>$msgCode$</h1>
    </html>

Thanks Soni,
But you need to define a token in tag to show the parameter. so by default it shows input type box. which is editable.
