the TD, outside the 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',

Nice idea,
