copied!<p>Disabled controls <em>shouldn't</em> actually be submitted with the form, so what you're seeing is in fact normal behaviour. According to the <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/interact/forms.html#h-17.12" rel="noreferrer">HTML form specification</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>When set, the disabled attribute has the following effects on an element:</p> <ul> <li>Disabled controls do not receive focus.</li> <li>Disabled controls are skipped in tabbing navigation.</li> <li><em>Disabled controls cannot be successful.</em></li> </ul> </blockquote> <p>The definition of <code>successful</code> can be found <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/interact/forms.html#successful-controls" rel="noreferrer">in the same document</a>. It's a bit nonsensical to suggest that Play is broken because of this.</p> <p>If you want to have a form field that user cannot edit while it should still be sent along when the form is submitted, you can use the <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/interact/forms.html#h-17.12.2" rel="noreferrer">read-only</a> attribute, or use JavaScript to disallow user input.</p> <p><strong>Update:</strong> as pointed out in the comments, the following points may also offer a solution:</p> <ul> <li>It's possible that Play still keeps the disabled control's form values in the request object, and just doesn't bind them (so you could retrieve them from the request if needed)</li> <li>Use a hidden field to keep the form value in case you still want to submit the value, but do not want the user(s) to see the control</li> </ul>
