How do I submit disabled input in ASP.NET MVC?

Can't you make the field readonly="readonly" instead of disabled="disabled"? A readonly field value will be submitted to the server while still being non-editable by the user. A SELECT tag is an exception though.

Thanks to everyone:

The way i resolved this:

document.getElementById("Costo").readOnly = true;document.getElementById("Costo").style.color = "#c0c0c0";

Note:

I got this information on the answer but i got editted.

@ppumkin mentioned this on his comment on this answer but I wanted to highlight it as I was unable to find other resources on submitting data from a disabled <select>. I also believe it is relevant to the question as selects are not <input>s but they are "input"s.

Just include a Hidden field for the disabled select and its all sorted.

Example:

@Html.DropDownListFor(model => model.SelectedID, ... , new { disabled = "disabled"}) @* Won't be posted back *@@Html.HiddenFor(model => model.SelectedID) @* Will be posted back *@

Caution: this will put two tags on the page with the same ID, which is not really valid HTML and could cause headaches with javascript. For me, I have javascript to set the value of the dropdown by its html id, and if you put the hidden field first, the javascript will find that instead of the select.
