Chuck,
To disable a select option, just add the "disabled" attribute to the tag:
HTML: <option disabled>Banana</option>
XHTML: <option disabled="disabled">Banana</option>
The disabled option is greyed out and can't be selected.
You can set this attribute with Javascript using code like this:
oOption.setAttribute("disabled", "disabled");
where oOption is the OPTION object.
The disabled option is listed as an attribute of OPTION in the W3C HTML
specification:
The SELECT, OPTGROUP, and OPTION elements
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/interact/forms.html#h-17.6
(scroll down to the OPTION section)
