title: jQuery - can I validate a disabled field?
body: <p>I've got a form where the user needs to click a link, select a user via a popup window which then populates a hidden field with  an ID and a display field with the username. </p>
  
  <p>The display field is set to disabled="disabled" to force the user to use the popup and not type a value in the field.</p>
  
  <p>I need to ensure the user selects a name. I'm using jQuery and Jorn's validation plugin. </p>
  
  <p>Doing a required: true on the disabled field doesn't seem to fire off if the value is blank.  </p>
  
  <p>Any ideas how to solve this?  </p>
