Hello to everybody.

Having a little issue with the dropdowns, if anyone can help me.

Problem is as follows :
-on a form, i have a DropDown object (webui.jar - 1.2)
-DropDown's disabled property is bound to a backing bean boolean variable.
-in the prerender method of the backing bean, i set this variable's value to TRUE (meaning of course that the DropDown goes to disabled state)
-so far, all is ok. DropDown is shown as being disabled, in the web page, and the value correctly selected in it.
-PROBLEM is : at this point, when the user does a submit on this form, the selected value returns as NULL.

Did anyone else has this problem ? Has anyone found a solution to this ? This keeps happening all over my web app.

Kind regards,
Andrei
