Question

Basically i want a disable text field to show the value stored in a database but i don’t want it to be editable by the user.

i’ve tried using disabled="disabled" but then it no longer POST to my form handler…

Any suggestions?

thanks

Answer 1

docu:

In this example, the INPUT element is
disabled. Therefore, it cannot receive
user input nor will its value be
submitted with the form.

why do you need the value? then try the readonly-attribute instead of disabled or go for another hiddenfield.

edit:
it’s not fully clear to me, if you use asp.net, bu if so, you could just do

<form submitdisabledcontrols="true" runat="server">

you may give it a try 🙂
