A disabled text area:
![]()
The disabled attribute is supported in all major browsers.
The disabled attribute specifies that a text area should be disabled. A disabled text area is unusable and un-clickable.
The disabled attribute can be set to keep a user from using a text area until some other condition has been met (like selecting a checkbox, etc.). Then, a JavaScript could remove the disabled value, and make the text area usable.
