title: The <option> disabled attribute is not supported in IE, prior version 8. Any workaround?
body: <p>The disabled attribute is not supported in IE, prior version 8 for HTML <code>&lt;option&gt;</code> disabled Attribute. <a href="http://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_option_disabled.asp" rel="nofollow">http://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_option_disabled.asp</a> </p>
  
  <p>What options do we have to customize the look and make the field read only?</p>
  
  <p><strong>Warning!</strong>
  Read the question twice, as we don't ask about <code>&lt;input disabled&gt;</code> we ask about <code>&lt;option disabled&gt;</code></p>
