Read only inputText binding problem

Question

Hi all
I have a h:inputText like below
<h:inputText readonly="true" id="txtStudentId" value="#{student.id}"/>then using a Java script I change the value of this textbox.
But when retrieve the value from backbean It's not changed. The problem is associated with read only attribute.
When it's not read only it works.
Can some one explain this?

Thank You BALUSC, Your solution worked!
Nice idea
JSP
<script>
                        function changeTest()
                            document.getElementById("form1:textField1").value = "text Changed";
                            document.getElementById("form1:hidden1").value = "text Changed";
                            return false;
</script>
<webuijsf:form id="form1">
                        <h:inputText id="textField1" readonly="true" />
                        <h:inputHidden binding="#{ReadOnly_inputField.hiddenField}" id="hidden1" />
                        <h:commandButton id="button1" value="Channge Value" onclick="return changeTest();"/>
                        <h:commandButton action="#{ReadOnly_inputField.button2_action}" id="button2"value="Check Value"/>
                    </webuijsf:form>ReadOnly_inputField.java
private HtmlInputHidden hiddenField;
    public HtmlInputHidden getHiddenField()
        return hiddenField;
    public void setHiddenField(HtmlInputHidden hiddenField)
        this.hiddenField = hiddenField;
    public String button2_action()
        System.out.println("This is the value : "+ hiddenField.getValue());
        return null;
