Depending on how your serverside processing works it makes sense that
it would process both. Doesn't disable just prevent a client-side user
from changing the checkbox? Make when the user check the check you can
add or remove the desired checkbox using:
http://docs.jquery.com/Manipulation/remove#expr.
Otherwise wouldnt it make more sense to have your form processing
script evaluate the checkbox and decide whether or not something gets
posted? To have that sort of control through JQuery you may have to
look at using Ajax to do a $.post
