I have seen people recommending
<input name="input" readonly="readonly">
and
<input name="input" disabled="disabled">
But which of these two will:
- Stop users changing the value
- Allow jQuery to update the value

1Both can be modified by jquery but I suggest the first. – Mark May 19 '15 at 00:29

Don't forget the quote at the end of `"readonly"`. – Barmar May 19 '15 at 00:30

1If you don't want user input then I would not use an input, personally, otherwise `@Barmar`s answer should do. – StackSlave May 19 '15 at 00:35

Use readonly, because disabled will also prevent the field from being submitted.
