Jquery cannot read disable elements

Question

I have HTML like this :

<li class="MostViewedProducts">
    <input class="MostViewedProductsi" type="checkbox" checked="checked"/>
    <span class="labels">Some Text</span>
    <a class="fancybox" href="#inline40" id="tozih"></a>
</li>

and some Jquery like this :

$('.MostViewedProductsi').attr('disabled', true);
var $form = $('*');

My Question is :

When I Disable the Class , the Jquery can't read the element and pass it by GET or POST to the PHP file, and when I make the class -MostViewedProducts- read only , the user can still change the check box.

What solution can I use ?

Clarify please what: _" the Jquery can't read the element and pass it"_ means. Pass it to where? how are you trying to read? — gdoron, Oct 24 '12 at 07:50
if you dont want people to `edit` you input fields and send the data to backend then use `readonly` — Anil Kumar, Oct 24 '12 at 07:59
You have no idea how long the full code is . I correct the question . — , Oct 24 '12 at 08:11

This is by design of HTML - no disabled elements are passed in a GET or POST.

To remedy this you could remove the disabled attribute on submission of the form so that the elements' value can be posted.

@gdoron true, but he also says 'jQuery can't pass it' implying some kind of POST is being made. I'll leave this answer until the OP clarifies what he's trying to do. – Rory McCrossan Oct 24 '12 at 07:49
This is the sloution witch i want , excuse me for my lake of description , i edit the question to be more understandable . thanks. – Oct 24 '12 at 08:03
@RezaMarefaty. It still doesn't too much sense, as jQuery CAN read disabled elements. Glad Rory could help you. +1. – gdoron Oct 24 '12 at 08:16

Two options:

$('.MostViewedProductsi').attr('disabled', 'disabled');
$('.MostViewedProductsi').prop('disabled', true); // jQuery version 1.6+
