Right. I think Heath's situation is a little unusual. I can't personally see a situation where the component is disabled on the JSF side and I would want change its value via javascript and resubmit it. I didn't realize this was what he wanted until his last post.
I agree with you too that if you really need to do this, Heath's idea of re-enabling the checkbox (or whatever) before submitting is the way to go. sean PS. Heath, does this mean that MYFACES-78 can be closed?
