disabled input fields-help please!!

hi everyone,
i have a long list of checkboxes and textfields
and when a checkbox is cleared i want the textfield to become disabled and when its checked enabled, that's easy i know.
but the question is if it is disabled would it be submitted with the form?
and the other thing is i want to link each checkbox somehow to a textfield, so
i can enter their values in 2 related database fields, but im having trouble submitting the data while keeping related items together and identifiable through each other.
Now i thought of using a hidden field and each time a checkbox is checked , i would
add the pair to the field's value and remove it when cleared, but that seems a real hard pain in the ass task.

if you have any ideas that can help me out i'd be thankful :confused:

1. Disabled input field should submit
2. As to keeping related text boxes with check boxes you may look into arrays for form inputs.
3. Database column a = checkbox column b = text field input that would keep them linked.

</form>

This is a sample code i made up for you.. it is an array of all the check boxes and input fields... the corresponding text field has the same array # as the check box.
this will enable and disable the text field based on the check box. as to the database you will have todo a similar method in your submit page to loop through the array and put the two togethor and insert them into the dabase how ever you want.
