Shouldn't Ng-bind Work For Input As Well?

I was a bit puzzled by my expression not working. I can't use ng-model there (as the product is no L-value), so I blindly

Solution 1:

ngBind set's the element's text content:

element.text(value == undefined ? '' : value);   // from the source code of Angular

So, it does not work for setting the value of an input (nor shouldn't it).

I believe it is better to use <span> in place of readonly inputs.
