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.
