You would have to loop through the containing elements for the input
fields, which are TR's for table formstyles, DIV's for the divs formstyle,
and UL's for the ul formstyle. The id of the containing element is of the
form "table_field__row", so you can use that to identify each row. However,
this is probably an overly complicated approach. Instead, you can set the
readable and writeable attributes of the fields dynamically at runtime:
def mycontroller:
db.mytable.field1.readable = False
form = SQLFORM(db.mytable, readonly=True)
etc.
