Definition and Usage
The disabled property sets or returns whether a group of related form elements (a fieldset) is disabled, or not.
If this property is set, the form elements in the fieldset are disabled.
A disabled element is unusable and un-clickable. Disabled elements are usually rendered in gray by default in browsers.
This property reflects the HTML disabled attribute.
Browser Support
The disabled property is supported in all major browsers, except Internet Explorer and Safari.
Note: Internet Explorer supports the disabled property on return. However, on set, it will make the form elements gray, but they will still be usable (not disabled).
Syntax
Return the disabled property:
fieldsetObject.disabled
Set the disabled property:
fieldsetObject.disabled=true|false
