Values of disabled inputs will not be submitted

Question

This is what I found by Firebug in Firefox.

Is it the same in other browsers?

If so, what\'s the reason for this?

Answer 1

They don't get submitted, because that's what it says in the W3C specification.

17.13.2 Successful controls

A successful control is "valid" for submission. [snip]

• Controls that are disabled cannot be successful.

In other words, the specification says that controls that are disabled are considered invalid and should not be submitted.
