For each disabled checkboxes use <input type="hidden" ... /> with the same name and value.

As a fact, disabled elements are disabled and will not be sent, as @BluesRockAddict already said. What you can do is using JavaScript for disallowing unchecking the checkbox. You might use something like this <checkbox [...] onclick="return false" onkeydown="return false" But still, as you disable JavaScript, this will not work.

For disabled checkboxes, the values will never be posted to the server. One possible workaround would be to add some javascript code that would enable disabled checkboxes upon submitting the form.
