Select Disabled and Post
Hi All:
I’m working on a site to manage employee data. In the employee data edit area I have four select menus loaded with employee ids in the value and the employee names in the text (Regional Manager, General Manager, Supervisor…etc). As it happens I need to disable these selects based on the user who logs in. This part is done.
The problem is, when I POST the form the SELECT menus which are disabled return no values.
Does anyone know a way to POST these values so that php can retrieve the data and process the request?

# construct full list of options
