The disabled attribute is supported by all major browsers.

Definition and Usage

The disabled attribute is a boolean attribute.

When present, it specifies that an option-group should be disabled.

A disabled option-group is unusable and un-clickable.

The disabled attribute can be set to keep a user from selecting the option-group 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 option-group selectable.

NONE.


Differences Between HTML and XHTML

In XHTML, attribute minimization is forbidden, and the disabled attribute must be defined as <optgroup disabled="disabled">.
