Html Option Disabled Attribute

[davej]

http://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_option_disabled.asp This page fails to explain the proper way to ENABLE the disabled element. I have found that people here suggest using disabled=false and also see that disabled="" works, but what is the BEST answer considering the official specification? Thanks.

for boolean attributes i just skip the value completely, like: <option disabled> the html 5 page seems to explain it better:http://www.w3schools.com/html5/att_option_disabled.asp

You're confusing attributes with properties again. If you don't want it disabled, just don't put the attribute. Here's the actual thing you should be looking at if you want to change that property with Javascript: http://www.w3schools...ml_disabled.asp

Oh, I had the <option> page, but look here at the more general <input> page which says to use disabled="disabled" http://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_input_disabled.asp This does not describe the enabled state and does not provide a link to the much more helpful DOM page.
