For some reason in a web form I created, options in a <select> are selectable in Safari even thought I specified that they should be disabled.

For example, with the following code:

Code:
<select name="foo">
 <option value="bar" disabled="disabled">bar</option>
 <optoin value="monkey">monkey</option>
</select>

Both bar and monkey would show up as selectable in Safari even though in Firefox and Explorer bar is greyed out.

Is there some other way of marking it as disabled that will work for Safari?

It depends how your are generating the form and what the criteria is for disabling certain options. If you are using a scripting language such as PHP, it would probably be best to have the PHP handle the options for the select. Otherwise, if it is a static HTML page I'm pretty sure Javascript can be used to remove options.

I'd say your best bet is to check out what Javascript can do in regards to manipulating selects.

I thought it was just supposed to be "disabled" rather than disabled=disabled. Not too sure and can't check right now.

Code:
<select name="foo">
 <option value="bar" disabled>bar</option>
 <optoin value="monkey">monkey</option>
</select>

It used to be ok to just have "disabled", but in the XHTML standard its disabled="disabled"
