Hi,

did you had a look at the javascript console debug message ? I think it should told you that

$ is not defined

you shouldn't put your javascript code in the view file because the view is build before the main layout (and then before jquery is loaded). So, put all your personnal javascript stuff in a seperate file and load that file in the main layout after jquery.

If you may also use assets manager wich is really powerfull: https://docs.phalcon.io/en/latest/reference/assets.html

And finally, in your html code above, there is no element with id "emp"

i had done that to ....{{ javascript_include('custom/js/changeview.js') }} is included in index file where i had include all the other files too.

OK, and what does the debuging console told you now ?

$("#emp").setAttribute("readonly", true);

what kind of html tag has id "emp" ? Because it is not there in the code you have given.
