HTMLOptionElement: disabled property
Baseline Widely available
This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since July 2015.
The disabled
property of the HTMLOptionElement
is a boolean value that indicates whether the <option>
element is unavailable to be selected. The property reflects the value of the disabled
HTML attribute.
The property reflects the value of the disabled
attribute on the <option>
element itself. If an option is disabled because it is a child of an <optgroup>
element that is disabled, the true
of the HTMLOptGroupElement.disabled
property is not inherited by the option itself.
Value
A boolean value.
Examples
HTML
<label for="drink-options">Drink selection:</label>

<option value="lemonade">Lemonade</option>
<option value="beer">Beer</option>
<option value="whisky" disabled>Whisky</option>
</option>
JavaScript

console.log(drinks[0].disabled); // false
console.log(drinks[3].disabled); // true
