[ZendTo] Fill in organization from AD attribute

[Jules Field]

There's a setting
     'requestSenderOrgIsEditable' => TRUE,
which, if set to FALSE, stops users from editing that field when sending 
a request for a drop-off.

Otherwise, on text boxes, adding "readonly" is better than using 
"disabled" in my opinion.

Cheers,
Jules.
