FIXED!!
You can set the readonly property on a form text input
('readonly'=>'readonly') which will behave the same way as disabled,
in that the end-user can't change the value of it (yet you can like I
do via a script), and still gets submitted in the form into $this-
>data.
Appreciate all the help!
