FN-FORUM: Trying to disable select drop down options

date posted 8th January 2008 13:28

Hi,

I'm trying to disable an option in a select drop down menu (the option
is blank). I'm using optionObject.disabled = true in javascript (the
selects are generated from javascript). This appears to work fine in
firefox, opera and safari but not in internet explorer.

Are there any workarounds for internet explorer (maybe using css) ? or
shall I tell the client it'll work in the other browsers but not IE ?

I could probably add an onclick to the option and when selected make it
jump back to the top of the menu, but would prefer it to work like the
other browsers.

Thanks

Martin
