Is there any way (with a attribute flag or something like that) to enable form fields that are disabled to submit data?
Or, if that's not possible, is there any way to block fields from editing with css or any other attribute than disabled without hiding them?
My special case at the moment is an identifier for a data-set that should be shown in the form (uneditable) - if there is no better solution I think i'll use a hidden field in addition to the disabled one to hold the actual value with the disabled one showing it.
As it was already mentioned: READONLY
does not work for <input type='checkbox'>
and <select>...</select>
.
If you have a Form
with disabled checkboxes / selects AND need them to be submitted, you can use jQuery:
$('form').submit(function(e) {
$(':disabled').each(function(e) {
$(this).removeAttr('disabled');
})
});
This code removes the disabled
attribute from all elements on submit.
