Browser Support

Internet Explorer Firefox Opera Google Chrome Safari

The disabled attribute is supported in all major browsers.


Definition and Usage

The disabled attribute specifies that an input element should be disabled.

A disabled input element is unusable and un-clickable.

The disabled attribute can be set to keep a user from using an input field until some other condition has been met (like selecting a checkbox, etc.). Then, a JavaScript is required to remove the disabled value, and make the input element usable.

Tip: Disabled <input> elements in a form will not be submitted.

Note: The disabled attribute will not work with <input type="hidden">.
