If the setting of the selected option is represented by : function setForm(form){ form.List3.selectedIndex=X; // X is a var set somehow } <SELECT NAME="List3" onchange="readOnlyElement(this)"> function readOnlyElement(Elem){ alert("This is read only"); setForm(Elem.form); } hth Rodney Andrew Dunn wrote: > How would you make a items in a select tag read only? i've tried onFocus > = "this.blur();", but it doesn't seem to work.
