Definition and Usage

The disabled attribute specifies that a drop-down list should be disabled.
A disabled drop-down list is unusable and un-clickable.
The disabled attribute can be set to keep a user from using the drop-down list 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 drop-down list usable.

Browser Support

The disabled attribute is supported in all major browsers.
