Getting the value of a disabled <select> control

[Eric]

Hello,

I'm trying (without any success) to get the value of a disabled select
control. From reviewing:

http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/interac...#adef-disabled

It doesn't sound like it's going to be possible directly. I'm
thinking that I can get around it by enabling the select control
during some javascript that gets executed during the submit.

I'm assuming you want the value in the form's submission.

Right

Either that or use client-side script in the onsubmit event to put the value
in a hidden textbox in the form.
