It seems by default disabled input elements are ignored by $.serialize(). Is there a workaround?

jQuery serialize() Method The serialize() method creates a URL encoded text string by serializing form values. You can select one or more form elements (like input and/or text area), or the form element itself. The serialized values can be used in the URL query string when making an AJAX request.
In JavaScript, for example, you can serialize an object to a JSON string by calling the function JSON. stringify() . CSS values are serialized by calling the function CSSStyleDeclaration. getPropertyValue() .
To serialize a FormData object into a query string, pass it into the new URLSearchParams() constructor. This will create a URLSearchParams object of encoded query string values. Then, call the URLSearchParams. toString() method on it to convert it into a query string.
Temporarily enable them.
var myform = $('#myform');
// Find disabled inputs, and remove the "disabled" attribute
var disabled = myform.find(':input:disabled').removeAttr('disabled');
// serialize the form
var serialized = myform.serialize();
// re-disabled the set of inputs that you previously enabled
disabled.attr('disabled','disabled');
Use readonly inputs instead of disabled inputs:
<input name='hello_world' type='text' value='hello world' readonly />
This should get picked up by serialize().
