How to avoid specific inputs to be posted?

Question

I have a form with several inputs. For some reason, I want specific inputs with specific class not be posted when the user submits the form.

I already tried disabling the specific inputs like:

$('.myinputs').each(function (i) {
    $(this).prop('disabled', false);
});

This command would disable the inputs, but they still are being posted.

Any hints ?

Thanks

`disabled` actually prevent the inputs from submission, no need for formData IMO — Zakaria Acharki, Jan 24 '19 at 15:24
You are doing right. `disabled` inputs will not be submitted. Only 1 thing I would to mention is that you need to put `(disabled',true)` — dganenco, Jan 24 '19 at 15:26

It should be disabled true not false, try :

$('.myinputs').each(function (i) {
    $(this).prop('disabled', true);
});

While `'disabled'` will be cast to `true` when assigned to thh `disabled` property, you should use a boolean and not a string. – Quentin Jan 24 '19 at 15:26

You can refer to this answer

You might need to put your logic onSubmit Event

$(function()
{
    $("form").submit(function()
    {
        $(this).children('.myinputs').attr("disabled", "disabled");

        return true; // ensure form still submits
    });
});
