Definition and Usage

The disabled attribute is a boolean attribute.

The disabled attribute specifies that the <input> element should be disabled.

A disabled input element is unusable and un-clickable.

The disabled attribute is set to make the <input> element unusable until certain conditions are met (like selecting a checkbox, etc.). Then, a JavaScript can remove the disabled value, and make the <input> element usable.

Tip: Disabled <input> elements in a form will not be submitted.

Note: The disabled attribute is not applicable to <input type="hidden">.
