request.form("checkbox") for status not value. 1

[craiogram]

I tried to do some research on this but haven't been able to find a thing on it. Perhaps someone has a idea.

Page 1 has 5 checkboxes.
Boxes 2 and 3 are "checked" and "disabled"(grayed out).
User checks off box 5 and clicks submit.

On page 2 I am using the code:

Response.Write (Request.Form("checkboxName"))

To pull value of checkbox. "on" or " ".
HOWEVER, the (checked and disabled) boxes (2 and 3) return " " instead of "on" as they are checked. Is there a way to use "request.form" to see if the check box is disabled?

Thank you in advance!

I don't think the browser even sends the values for disabled form elements.

You might try writing an onSubmit event handler function with client-side JavaScript... the function would enable all of the form elements when the page is submitted.

nope you cannot check if the checkbox is disabled...

maybe use readonly instead of disabled.

cLFlaVa, as you might know already if reminded that there is a widespread bug on readonly attribute for checkbox and radio input tags. I have posted a followup on your advice in the new thread (!) of the op
