Re: How to make a SELECT list readonly? If set disabled, loses the value when submit.

Hey, i was having the same problem...
i needed a <html:select that was read-only, but it had to forward it's id 
to the action servlet populate the form bean with it.

i just declared a <html:hidden with the same property after it.

like:

<html:select property="id" disabled="true"  >
(...)
</html:select>				

<html:hidden property="id"/> 

works fine ;)

That's cool. I never thought of that...

Another option is to make a disabled style in your css and blur onfocus

<html:select property="id" styleClass="disabled" onFocus="this.blur()">
:
</html:select>

Using a hidden element with the same name is slightly dodgy in that form.elements["id"] will return a different value depending if the hidden element is placed before or after the select.
