Thanks Yusuf, and Dardo.
I am using another page to inject a value into the disabled form text
input box, which works. However I guess Cake strips it out on
submission. I just thought of another idea after Yusuf posted, I could
have it disabled until they click submit and then quickly enable it at
the last second. I just don't want the user to be able to change the
value of the text input box except through my other form control that
put the value there. Would also be handy if there was a some
setEditable=false type option to it, may be there is, I'll have to
look.
