If you tag is like this -

<input disabled="true" id='data'>

Your code should be -

WebElement.getAttribute("disabled")

or

WebElement.getAttribute("id")

Make sure your code is correct. If this does not work please post the HTML code you are using.

For this tag -

<input id="j_idt93:j_idt93" type="text" disabled="disabled" maxlength="2000" value="Pārtraukts">

To get the value attribute -

String value = driver.findElement(By.id("j_idt93:j_idt93")).getAttribute("value");

value must be Pārtraukts

Let me know if have any problems.

If this does not work you may have to use the javascript executor -

String value =  (String)((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript("Java script query  in here to return value","");

Your query should be -

return document.getElementById("j_idt93:j_idt93").getAttribute("value");
