Question

I have an input field:

<input cid="Topic_Created" name="Topic.Created" size="25" type="text" value="6/5/2011 8:22:45 AM" />

I want the field to display on my form but don’t want the user to be able to edit the field. When the user clicks submit I want the form value to be sent back to the server.

Is this possible. I tried different combinations of disabled = "disabled", readonly = "readonly". Seems I always get nothing sent back for the field.

Answer 1

Adding a hidden field with the same name will sends the data when the form is submitted.

<input type="hidden" name="my_name" value="blablabla" />
<input type="text" name="my_name" value="blablabla" disabled="disabled" />
