Did you enter anything into the text field prior to making it read-only?  In other words, does this attribute have a value?  If there is no value, it will appear as though the text field "disappeared".

 Hi Brian Fleming,

No i didn't enter anything into the text field. 

do you mean to say that if there is no data in the text field than it will disappear only the label remain visible right ???

if yes like blank text field will become disappear in read-only format then how can make it remain visible in the read-only format, is there any way to deal with it ?

because i really want that text to remain visible in read-only format

If there is data in the field, it will appear.  If there is no data, you will not see anything.  What were you expecting to appear if there was no data?
Perhaps you actually need a dynamic read only attribute.  Otherwise, how do you plan on having users populate this field?
