2You can use `value="x"`, or is that not what you want? – Andy Feb 07 '13 at 12:53

2Your question is very unclear. Can you explain what exactly you want? – Alpay Feb 07 '13 at 12:55

The value is always passed, it doesn't mind whether the checkbox's disabled or not. – lulezi Feb 07 '13 at 12:56

Yes, if the field is disabled, it is not send when the form is submitted.
If you want to have a field that cannot be edited but is submitted with the form, use readonly="readonly" instead.
Edit: Argh, this does not work, readonly is ignored for checkboxes, see comment below. Instead if you want to send that field value on submit, you can define a second hidden field with the same name and value:
<input type="checkbox" disabled="disabled" checked="checked" name="is_ok" />
<input type="hidden" name="is_ok" id="is_ok_hidden" value="some value here" />
(You can give that field a value="some value here" like any other html input field, and set that value via element.setAttribute("value","some other value") in JavaScript. As only value of the type="hidden" field is send, only set the value of that field and ignore the value for the checkbox.)

Uh, indeed you can change a `readonly` checkbox :( I have to admit that I never really tried until now. Seems the `readonly` attribute is ignored for checkboxes. Maybe you can still go the `disabled` way and send a hidden input field with it, like ``. Quite a kludge, I have to admit. – Clemens Klein-Robbenhaar Feb 07 '13 at 13:26
