If the value of disabled form element could changed dynamically (maybe you have some lil process on your view), maybe you need some little javascript script here...
<script> function test(){ document.ItemEdit.getElementById('ItemQuantytyHid').value = document.ItemEdit.getElementById('ItemQuantyty').value; } </script> print $form->create('Item', array("action"=>"edit","onsubmit"=>"javascript:test();")); print $form->input('Item.quantity', array("label"=>"Quantity", "disabled"=>"disabled"); print $form->hidden('Item.quantityHid'); print $form->end('Submit'); and then in your controller you have to do this if(!empty($this->data)){ $this->data['Item']['quantyty] = $this->data['Item']['quantytyHid]; $this->Item->save($this->data['Item']); } i have not tested this yet :P, but i think you could figure it out :)... hope this help.. ________________________________ From: Dardo Sordi Bogado <dardoso...@gmail.com> To: cake-php@googlegroups.com Sent: Friday, January 23, 2009 9:39:28 AM Subject: Re: How to submit form elements that are disabled? > I want to have a form text input get submitted, but also want it to be > disabled on display. >From http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/interact/forms.html#h-17.12 : ...the INPUT element is disabled.
