Rails readonly date_select

Question

In my edit action, I don't want the date to be editable, but I still want the date to be visible. Is it possible to make the date_select readonly while its value is still passed along with other params. I have tried :disable => true , but this way the date value is not passed along, and I need that value.

<%= f.date_select :date %>

With JavaScript:

In views:

<%= f.date_select :date, :disabled => true %>

In assets:

$('form').submit(function () {
  $('select').attr('disabled', false);
});

With CofeeScript:

In views:

<%= f.date_select :date, :disabled => true %>

In assets:

$('form').submit ->
  $('select').attr('disabled', false)
