Question

On a Jsp page I have some select elements which were disabled after a value was selected (Disabled them in javascript). Now when the form is submitted, I can not access those selected values in the action class.

I know for sure that this is caused by the select elements being disabled because, when I tried the same without making them disabled, it worked fine.

Now I don’t understand why is this so. I thought maybe I should enable them before the form is submitted, but it does not seem a good idea.

I faced this problem while implementing this : Creating struts 2 forms dynamically on jsp using java script .
(You can find the code there. Although I don’t think you will need the code, because it is clear where the problem is.)

Here I am able to access the values of text fields but I can not access the values of select elements.

I asked this question separately because I thought this is a different topic.

Thanks!!

You can set them in hidden field through java script and pass it to action
