disable option highlighted while appended
<p>I am appending a disabled option into a <code>&lt;select&gt;</code> box, I have a slight issue though. If I append the options in the <code>&lt;select&gt;</code>, one of the options remains highlighted, which doesn't seem like a big deal but it doesn't look good when one disabled option is highlighted and obviously other options can't be highlighted.</p>

<p>How can I remove the highlight when options are appended? Below is code:</p>

<pre><code>var selectedOption = $('select#studentadd');
$('select#studentselect').append(selectedOption.html()).attr('disabled', 'disabled');
</code></pre>
