Getting the value of a disabled <select> control
|
|
|
| Hello,
I'm trying (without any success) to get the value of a disabled select
control. From reviewing:
http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/intera...l#adef-disabled
It doesn't sound like it's going to be possible directly. I'm
thinking that I can get around it by enabling the select control
during some javascript that gets executed during the submit.

Works fine here [IE7,FF2]:
<select id='a' disabled>
<option value='1'>1</option>
<option value='2' selected>2</option>
<option value='3'>4</option>
</select>
<script type='text/javascript'>
alert(document.getElementById('a').value) // shows 2
</script>

I'm assuming you want the value in the form's submission.

Right

Either that or use client-side script in the onsubmit event to put the value
in a hidden textbox in the form.
