Disable/readonly select tag in html

Question

How exactly can I go about making a select tag readonly. I've read that you can't set a select as readonly. I do that I can set it as disabled but... That is not an option. I would like the user to view the rest of the options in the select tag, but not be able to pick one of them..

Any ideas?

Answer 1

you can use disabled attribute.

for example.

<select >
  <option disabled="disabled" value="volvo">Volvo</option>
  <option disabled="disabled" value="saab">Saab</option>
  <option disabled="disabled" value="mercedes">Mercedes</option>
  <option disabled="disabled" value="audi">Audi</option>
</select>
