How can I get the form value from a disabled <input> element

Question

The HTML standard for forms appears to be such that disabled input elements do not contribute to the form name/value collection.

Is there ANY way to get around this?

Answer 1

You can easily

1. Change status to normal (disabled=false)
2. Read Value

3. reset input status to disabled

   $(element).prop("disabled", false); var text = $(element).val(); $(element).prop("disabled", true)
