Short answer ... you cannot.  By defintion in HTML, disabled fields are not
sent to the server, so the server has no opportunity to keep them for you.
On the other hand, if you make the field read only instead of disabled, the
value *will* be sent to the server ... but the user will not be able to edit
it.

Thanks.
