[Javascript] How to prevent user from selecting in select box

[Antony Paul]

Hi all,
    I have a select box which is dynamically generated for editing the data.
Based on a condition it has to be disabled. If I use the disabled attribute
it won't submit the value of the select box and I have to display the data.
I tried onfocus and onclick. But it is not working. Any solutions will be
appreciated. I need some way to avert the selection.
