Edit Question
Title
Body
Hopefully an easy question for you asp.net mvc gurus: I have a checkbox, created like this: <%=Html.CheckBox("MyCheckBox", true, new { disabled = "disabled"})%> In my action I am checking the value like so: bool isChecked = form["MyCheckBox"].Contains("true"); I expect this to return true, as it is checked. However the hidden element that gets created has a false value: <input checked="checked" disabled="disabled" id="MyCheckBox" name="MyCheckBox" type="checkbox" value="true" /> <input name="MyCheckBox" type="hidden" value="false" /> First, is there a way to make the HtmlHelper behave as I expect it should? Or is manually constructing the input/creating my own helper method the only way? (not that this is a big deal...) Second, can anyone shed some light on why the checkboxes behave this way? Am I incorrect in assuming a disabled checkbox that is ticked should == true? Does a disabled state semantically mean false?
