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.

The readonly attribute of <input> element in HTML is used to specify that the input field is read-only.
A readonly element is just not editable, but gets sent when the according form submits. A disabled element isn't editable and isn't sent on submit.
The readonly attribute makes a form control non-editable (or “read only”). A read-only field can't be modified, but, unlike disabled , you can tab into it, highlight it, and copy its contents. Setting the value to null does not remove the effects of the attribute. Instead use removeAttribute('readonly') .
Pure CSS Form Read-Only Inputs Class: There is no class for that we have a predefined attribute that can make any input field read-only and that attribute is readonly=” ” with empty value.
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" /> If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
