Dropdown boxes

[Geoff]

I have a dropdown box on a webpage, which contains several choices.
Is it possible to "grey-out" one or more of these so that they are still
visible in the dropdown box, but cannot be selected?

Thanks in advance,

Geoff

That's confusing for the user. If it isn't available, don't show it.

That would be the "disabled" attribute for <option>.

Thanks for the reply Jim, but I have since gathered that he "disabled"
function doesn't work in IE. Seems a bit odd, since this is probably the
most used, but sure enough it doesn't.
