Creating a SelectListItem with the disabled="disabled" attribute
- by Mark
I realize Internet Explorer ignores the disabled attribute, but I'm not seeing a way to create, via the HtmlHelper, a SelectListItem that will spit out the following HTML:
<option disabled="disabled">don't click this</option>
The only properties SelectListItem has are:
new SelectListItem{
Name = "don't click this",
Value = string.Empty,
Selected = false
}
The only option I see is to
Subclass the SelectListItem to add an Enabled property to get the value to the view
Not use the HTML helper for DropDownList
Create a new HtmlHelper extension that accepts my new EnablableSelectList and adds my disabled attribute.
