The HTMLSelectElement.disabled
Is a Boolean
that reflects the disabled
HTML attribute, which indicates whether the control is disabled. If it is disabled, it does not accept clicks. A disabled element is unusable and un-clickable.
Syntax
aSelectElement.disabled = aBool;

<form> <input type="text"size=
"20"

"disabled"
> </form>
Javascript
Here we have a simple function which disables/enables select element when checkbox is checked/unchecked.The disabled property of JavaScript is a Boolean property, meaning it only take two possible values: "true", or "false". By knowing this, you basically know how to manipulate the disabled attribute- disabling and re-enabling a form element at will.
function toggleSelection( element, scope ){
scope = scope || this;
if (scope.checked) {
$(element.data).attr('disabled', 'disabled');
} else {
$(element.data).removeAttr('disabled');
}
}
