I guess this is more of an HTML question than Perl, but
I've read the detailed desctiption of the cgi.pm -disabled switch (used on an input text box) and all it says is it prevents the user from clicking into the box. Which is exactly what I need.
But IN ADDITION, the param seems to vanish from the cgi returned from the page? That seems particularly undesirable, since now I'm having to push it in with a cgi->hidden to get the dataset proper again.
Is the disappearing param an actual built-in functionality of disabled, or is something else going on?
-disabled is also one of those oddball switches where it's specification is undefined.
Some pages suggest you use -disabled => 1,
others -disabled => 'on',
and others say -disabled,
is sufficient. Aggregated docs are unclear.
TY and happy Monday.
