One thing you can do is not use "disabled" at all.
If you decorate the control like it's disabled, and leave it with an ID
(so jquery can find it) but no name, it will be an "unsuccessful control",
and won't send. If someone enters something in the field, you can use
$('myinput').attr('name', 'myinput') to add the name attribute.
That will get the effect you're looking for, without trying to make events
run on disabled inputs.
