Att Optgroup Disabled
Att Optgroup Disabled
π 2026-06-18 | π HTML
## HTML <optgroup> disabled Attribute The `
` `disabled` attribute is a boolean attribute used to disable an entire group of options within a drop-down list (`
`). When an option group is disabled, all the options nested inside that group become inactive, unclickable, and grayed out. This prevents users from selecting any options from that specific category. --- ## Syntax In HTML5, the `disabled` attribute is a boolean attribute and can be written simply by including its name: ```html
``` ### XHTML Differences In XHTML, attribute minimization is forbidden. The `disabled` attribute must be defined with its value explicitly declared: ```xml
``` --- ## Code Examples ### Basic Example The following example demonstrates a drop-down list where the "German Cars" option group is disabled, making "Mercedes" and "Audi" unselectable, while the "Swedish Cars" group remains active. ```html
Choose a car:
Mercedes
Audi
Volvo
Saab
``` ### Dynamic Control with JavaScript You can use JavaScript to dynamically enable or disable an `
` based on user interaction (e.g., checking a checkbox). ```html
Enable German Cars
Select a Car:
Mercedes
Audi
Volvo
Saab
``` --- ## Browser Support The `disabled` attribute of the `
` tag is widely supported across all modern web browsers: | Browser | Supported | | :--- | :--- | | **Google Chrome** | Yes | | **Mozilla Firefox** | Yes | | **Microsoft Edge** | Yes | | **Safari** | Yes | | **Opera** | Yes | > **Note:** Legacy browsers like Internet Explorer 7 and earlier do not support the `disabled` attribute on the `
` tag. --- ## Specifications and Differences * **HTML 4.01 vs. HTML5:** There are no functional differences in how this attribute behaves between HTML 4.01 and HTML5. * **Accessibility (a11y):** Screen readers will announce the disabled state of the option group to assistive technology users, ensuring they know the options within that group are currently unavailable.
