Re: [jQuery] Allow onclick (etc) on disabled input
Sorry for ~spam, I found that adding the onclick to the parent element (a TD
fortunately) is a good enough solution in this situation.
BTW: The behaviour is slightly different in IE7 vs Fx2:
in IE the click passes through the input, but in Fx the click must be in
the TD, outside the input.

I have discovered that if an input is disabled all its events are as well.
For example

I have an input like this and want it disabled (to prevent it being
posted) unless the user wants to change the value.
I thought I could simple use
input type=text disabled=disabled
onclick=$(this).removeAttr('disabled'); /
or it might need
input type=text disabled=disabled id=x
onclick=$('#x').removeAttr('disabled'); /
But alas, no luck.
Is there some way to force an onclick to work in this situation?

Re: [jQuery] Allow onclick (etc) on disabled input
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.

Nice idea, Brian!
