Is there a way to not post the model value of the hiddenfield?

Question

I have set of hiddenfields in my form to post the values of the read-only fields. But in some circumstances I wouldn't need to post the values. For example:

<div style="display: none;">
<!-- read-only controls -->
@Html.DisplayFor(model=>model.DeviceName)
@Html.HiddenFor(model=>model.DeviceName)
</div>

In the above example, I have hidden the above div using JQuery, but the value of the hiddenfield within the div is still posted.

You need to make the input disabled. Disabled inputs do not get submitted to server
