Hi, thank you all for your help. The final explanation was brought by Jason. The special disabled attribute only works with mozilla browsers!!! I justt tested it. ie6 indeed does not support the thml:option disable attribute (sh...). Unfortunately I am not allowed to use mozilla... so the javascript example comes in... :)

It could be that the the tag just renders an <option value="somevalue" disabled="true">sometext</option> html tag. If that is the case then the HTML browser would need to support the disable attribute. I wrote a quick test for IE and Mozilla: <html> <body> <form> <select name="x"> <option value="1">1</option> <option value="2" disabled="true">2</option> <option value="3">3</option> </select> </form> </body> </html> IE V6.0 didn't support the disable attribute. Mozilla Firebird V0.7 does. Hookom, Jacob wrote: >You can disable the select tag as a whole, but I've never heard of >disabling an option tag.
