 * Hello there!
 * A little while ago, Contact Form 7 introduced the “readonly” attribute and I 
   like it a lot.
 * My question is: How can I apply a certain style to all fields that feature this
   attribute? (I’m using a CSS stylesheet within a Child Theme.) In the past, I’ve
   worked with specific styles for classes and ids, but now I’m quite unsure about
   the whole attribute thingy.
 * Thanks in advance!

 * Use [attribute selectors](http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/selector.html#attribute-selectors).
 * Example:
 *     ```
       input[readonly] {
           background-color: #eee;
       }
       ```
