HTML <optgroup> disabled attribute


HTML optgroup Tag Reference HTML <optgroup> tag

Example

A disabled option group:

<select>
  <optgroup label="German Cars" disabled="disabled">
    <option value="mercedes">Mercedes</option>
    <option value="audi">Audi</option>
  </optgroup>
</select>

Try it yourself!


Definition and Usage

The disabled attribute 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 from 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.


Browser Support

Internet Explorer Firefox Opera Google Chrome Safari

The disabled attribute is supported by all major browsers, except Internet Explorer.

Note: Not supported in Safari 2.0 or earlier versions. Supported in IE 8 (beta) and newer versions.


Syntax

<optgroup disabled="value">
