I got caught by the phantom data loss: the $data array after POSTing doesn't contain the all the fields from the Model->read; only those that aren't disabled - so if you fail validation, and the form is redisplayed, the data which was originally populated via the Model- >read will have lost the fields which were disabled.
Readonly and css was the way that I used... otherwise you can't use the 'Input' styling for consistent looks & view code. -C --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.
