Values of disabled inputs will not be submitted

Question

This is what I found by Firebug in Firefox.

Is it the same in other browsers?

If so, what\'s the reason for this?

Answer 1

You can use three things to mimic disabled:

1. HTML: readonly attribute (so that the value present in input can be used on form submission. Also the user can't change the input value)

2. CSS: 'pointer-events':'none' (blocking the user from clicking the input)

3. HTML: tabindex="-1" (blocking the user to navigate to the input from the keyboard)
