Input elements have a property called disabled  When the form submits  just run some code like this   var myInput   document getElementById  myInput    myInput disabled   true

I know this is old but I just ran into this problem and none of the answers are suitable  nickf s solution works but it requires javascript  The best way is to disable the field and still pass the value is to use a hidden input field to pass the value to the form  For example    lt input type  text  value  22 2222  disabled  disabled    gt   lt input type  hidden  name  lat  value  22 2222    gt    This way the value is passed but the user sees the greyed out field  The readonly attribute does not gray it out
