RE: Disabling <SELECT>

Hmmm..... That's a great suggestion, but I don't think it will quite =
accomplish what I'm after. I have 3 select elements, and I want to prevent =
users from selecting something from both elements 2 & 3 (but they can =
select from elements 1 & 3, or from 1 & 2). In IE this works great--I can =
use a Javascript to disable select element 3 when they select something in =
element 2 and visa versa. But without being able to use Javascript to =
disable a select element, I'm at a bit of a loss.=20

Thanks!

All I know of doing, is setting all selectable elements to be NULL... via
JavaScript.

Subject:        Disabling <SELECT>

Hey all,
I'd like to disable a SELECT list, and I've found two methods for doing =
this, bo
th of which work in IE, but neither of which work in NN. Here they are:

-using disabled=3Dtrue in the SELECT tag
-using Javascript: document.forms.elements.disabled=3Dtrue

My reference book on DHTML states that NN doesn't support either of these. =
Is an
yone aware of a workaround?

Thanks!
Angi
