HTMLTextAreaElement: 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 HTMLTextAreaElement
interface indicates whether this multi-line text control is disabled and cannot be interacted with. It reflects the <textarea>
element's disabled
attribute. When false
, this textarea
may still be disabled if its containing element, such as a <fieldset>
, is disabled.
Value
A boolean.
Examples
js
const textareaElement = document.getElementById("comment");
if (commentsDisabled) {
textareaElement.disabled = true;
}
