[Javascript] turning readonly off?

Since readonly is one of the old "short" HTML attributes (that you have 
to specify with readonly="readonly" in XHTML) my guess would be to set 
the attribute to nothing.

oInput.setAttribute('readonly', '');

You could also try oInput.removeAttribute('readonly');
