[SOLVED] passing values in a disabled input text box.

[Yammyguy]

With the following code in a form:

 

<input type="text" name="my_input" value="HELLO!" disabled="disabled" />

 

Does the value get passed through POST on Submit?  It doesn't seem to be.  is there something I should be adding/doing in order to enable the value to pass?

 

I thought this would be a fairly straightforward thing - but it's turning out to be a pain in the bum!

 

Thanks in advance!

Disabled input fields are not sent. You probably want to use a hidden field. What you are trying to accomplish?

I ended up using the hidden field to pass the disabled values - it worked.  Thanks very much!

try readonly="readonly" - should be posted but still sent with headers - thats if the info needs to be visible in the form - if not then the hidden field is best.

...readonly, huh???  I'll have to try that!  Thanks for the suggestion!
