Name
DISABLED — NN n/a IE 4 HTML 4
Synopsis
DISABLED
Optional
A disabled BUTTON element appears grayed out on
the screen and cannot be activated by the user. In Windows, a
disabled BUTTON cannot receive focus and does not
become active within the tabbing order rotation. HTML 4.0 also
specifies that a disabled BUTTON whose
TYPE is submit should not send
its name/value pair when the form is submitted.
The DISABLED attribute is a Boolean type, which
means that its presence in the attribute sets its value to
true. Its value can also be adjusted after the
fact by scripting (see the button object in Chapter 9).
Example
<BUTTON TYPE="submit" DISABLED>Ready to Submit</BUTTON>
Value
The presence of the attribute sets its value to
true.
Default
false
