Yes; that`s right! Values in disabled fields are never submitted and thus dont affect the underlying model.
But there is a solution in JSF since a few weeks. Have a look at the "disabledOnClientSide" property. With it, there is a hidden field rendered (stands for the disabled field) and the value of the disabled field put into it. Values from hidden fields are submitted, and consequently it is possible to push the disabled value to the model. Hope that helps, Cheers, Gerald On 5/5/06, Uri Kalish <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Thanks dude. I found the problem. It's an HTML form thing - A form submitting will not post disabled fields. Because in the case of error I want to re-display the page exactly as it was when the user submitted (I don't want fields changed by the user to jump to default values just because he clicked a radio that made them disabled)... No choice but to use an extra hidden field and update it by java script when the regular field changes. Very low-tech I'm afraid... ________________________________ From: Le Van [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Fri 05-May-06 04:18 To: MyFaces Discussion Subject: Re: Disabled inputText Value Uri Kalish wrote: > Use case: > > A user fills a value in an inputText field, checks a radio button that > causes the field to become disabled, and submits the form. > > After the user submits, the value received is null, no matter what the > field displays on the UI... > > Is there a way to retrieve that value although the field is disabled, > or must I use an extra hidden field and update it by java script. > > > ______________________________________________________________________ > This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System. > For more information please visit http://www.messagelabs.com/email > ______________________________________________________________________ As I know you can't retrieve value from input field that is disabled.
