Question

I am having a dropdown box and a 5 textfields( all disabled). I am entering data into textfield by using javascript, from the dropdown(what ever value is present in the dropdown, goes into the text fields).

Now, when the submit button is clicked, I want to get the value from this text field in the action class(java). On testing, I was getting “null” [getParameterValues(“textfieldname”) is what I have done].

When I removed the disabled, I was getting the value. So, how can I get the value while the disabled, is applied to the text field ?

Answer 1

Instead of disable them make them readonly.

<input type="text" name="nameOfTextField" readonly="readonly" />
