Disabled select box is not Posting Value

select box which disabled in form not posting the value

[ravi]

Hi,

I have created the select box(combo box) in disabled mode.

I have made the default one value as "selected".

When i tried to submit the form,the disabled select box value is not posted(get/POST).

<form action="">
<select name="sample" >
<option value="testing" selected>Testing</option>
<option value="testing2">Testing2</option>
</select>
<input type="submit" name="but"/>
</form>

I would like to submit the form with the value of that combo box which is disabled mode.

Help me to fix this issue.
Thanks
ravi

i've worked around this problem in the past by using javacript to enable the combo box on submission

<script>
function enableSample() {
document.getElementById('sample').disabled=false;
}
</script>
<form action="" onsubmit="enableSample();"
<select name="sample" id="sample">
<option value="testing" selected>Testing</option>
<option value="testing2">Testing2</option>
</select>
<input type="submit" name="but"/>
</form>

hope that helps
