Disabled values on form not posting....

Hi There,

I have a simple form with text fields, now a couple of them are generated from PHP, and are inserted into the fields by using a value = "".

These form fields also have a disabled = "yes" to stop the user messing with the values.

trouble is, the fields with disabled on them don't post the data over. Is this a fault or by design?

Thanks

Mark

I'm not familiar with the disabled option, but give "readonly" a chance

xhtml would be readonly="readonly"

Hi,

ir4z0r is right, simply replace disabled with readonly.

since disabled field don't pass the value, why don't you store the value in the hidden field?

<input type="hidden" name="name" value="Hi">

I wanted the user to be able to see the field so i used readonly="readonly" and that worked great!

many thanks guys!

just readonly is sufficient, it is not neccessary to type something like readonly="yes"

Tsinka,

Actually, to be XHTML compliant all attributes must have a value enclosed in quotes.

readonly='yes'
selected="selected"
checked='checked'

etc.

Hi,

you're right, sorry 🙁
