Getting the value of a disabled <select> control
Hello,
I'm trying (without any success) to get the value of a disabled select control. From reviewing: http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/interact/forms.html#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. -Eric Eric wrote on 02 nov 2007 in microsoft.public.inetserver.asp.general:
