阻止在get方法php中传递具有相同名称的其他隐藏下拉字段

Question

I'm using PHP , Yii. I have a 3 tabs tab1 tab2 tab3.

In every tab I have a drop-down field with the name type in it with different drop-down options according to the tab.

When I select first tab the other two tabs type fields of other tabs are hidden. Similarly in other tabs.

The problem is when I press search button all the three selected type values are shown in GET method like ?search[type]=130&search[type]=111&search[type]=111 which results in wrong search results.

I need not want to pass the hidden field values to GET method action. I'm not asking for code to do that. Is it possible to not to pass hidden field values? If so guide me.

Answer 1

You need to set the hidden drop-downs to be disabled.

Elements with Disabled attribute are not submitted or you can say their values are not posted.

i.e.

 disabled="disabled"  

FYI

• Disabled controls do not receive focus.
• Disabled controls are skipped in tabbing navigation.
• Disabled controls cannot be successfully posted.

Hope this helps.
