Does anyone know of a way to dynamically disable/enable the select list in Javascript? The idea is that the select box should only be enabled when other form elements on the page are selected.


Workarounds I have seen on the web involve using Javascript events to disallow the user from selecting anything, but this doesn't have the effect of graying out the box. In particular, it's not obvious that the user shouldn't select it.


I know this is impossible in Netscape, but can it be done in IE?

Thanks. In hindsight, that should have been obvious :)

Sure, just set it to "disabled"





	

	

	

	
	

Disabled in IE



You can also set it in IE by using:
"document.forms[0].selTest.disabled = true|false;"
