Definition and Usage

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 is required to remove the disabled value, and make the text area usable.


Browser Support

Internet Explorer Firefox Opera Google Chrome Safari

The disabled attribute is supported in all major browsers.


Syntax

<texarea disabled="value">
