Disabled form fields are not POSTed
Was working with a form where I wanted a field to not be edited by users, so I used the disabled
attribute on it.
But, it wasn’t sent to the server when the form was submitted.
I eventually used the readonly
attribute to make it uneditable, yet be sent in the POST request.
