And the problem is?..
Why disabled? Why?! Why "text box"? (There is no such thing as "text box" in HTML, but probably you mean input of the type="text", right?) Instead of text box, it could be just p, div, etc.

Not sure what your business rules are, but there is no value for a disabled input box of type text. If you run my example below, you'll see on submit the lname value is not passed, even though I've set it.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<form action="demo_form.asp">
First name: <input type="text" name="fname"><br>
Last name: <input type="text" value="fdsa" name="lname" disabled><br>
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>

</body>
</html>

My solution would be to set the textbox to readonly. This will not allow the user to change the value.

A subsequent solution if you are setting the textbox to disabled in JavaScript, then set the value of the soon to be disabled textbox to a hidden value so you can access the value, even though the textbox is disabled and valueless.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<form action="demo_form.asp">
First name: <input type="text" name="fname"><br>
Last name: <input type="text" name="lname" disabled><br>
<input type="hidden" name="lnameIfDisabled" value="Pizza">
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>

</body>
</html>

Please mark the question as answered if this solves your problem. Thanks.
