In my experience a disabled field will not follow the rest of the values to the server. According the the w3c a disabled field "cannot be successful" which I read as "can not have a value when submitted".
You can use the attribute "readonly" (only for text inputs) which disables editing but the value will still be submitted. Or you have to create a hidden field to "replace" your disabled one using javascript. Look at how Cake uses hidden fields in forms to get some ideas. /Martin On Jan 29, 11:28 am, tobi_one <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > is there a way to activate the validation of a disabled input field? > > In my view I have a field like this: > > <?php echo $form->input('templatefile', array('label' => 'Template', > 'disabled'=>TRUE)); ?> > > The input field is disabled for the user but gets written to via > Javascript.
