Browser Support
The disabled attribute is supported in all major browsers.
Definition and Usage
The disabled attribute is a boolean attribute.
When present, it specifies that the text area should be disabled.
A disabled text area is unusable and the text is not selectable (cannot be copied).
The disabled attribute can be set to keep a user from using the text area until some other condition has been met (like selecting a checkbox, etc.). Then, a JavaScript could remove the disabled value, and make the text area usable.
Differences Between HTML 4.01 and HTML5
NONE.
Differences Between HTML and XHTML
In XHTML, attribute minimization is forbidden, and the disabled attribute must be defined as <textarea disabled="disabled">.
Syntax
