jQuery, disable input once values are stored in the new section

I have 2 select lists mySelect and mySelect2. When one is selected if you click on the checkbox the other changes simultaneously.

Please check code below:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">

function displayResult() {
    if(document.form1.billingtoo.checked == true) {
        var x = document.getElementById("mySelect").selectedIndex;
        // Set selected index for mySelect2
        document.getElementById("mySelect2").selectedIndex = x;
   }
}

</script>
</head>
<body>

<form name="form1">
Select your favorite fruit:
    <select id="mySelect">
        <option>Apple</option>
        <option>Orange</option>
        <option>Pineapple</option>
        <option>Banana</option>
    </select>

    <br>

    <input type="checkbox" name="billingtoo" onclick="displayResult()">

    <br>

Select your favorite fruit 2:
    <select id="mySelect2">
        <option>Apple</option>
        <option>Orange</option>
        <option>Pineapple</option>
        <option>Banana</option>
    </select>

</form>
</body>
</html>

...how do I disable (grey out) mySelect2 so that you cannot make any changes any changes once the values are in place?

thanks.

Not sure why your question is tagged "jQuery" when you're not using any, but still:

// with "plain" JS:
document.getElementById("mySelect2").disabled = true;

// with jQuery
$("#mySelect2").prop("disabled", true);

Either way set the disabled back to false to re-enable the control.

Here's one of many ways to rewrite your function with jQuery:

$(document).ready(function() {
    // bind the checkbox click handler here,
    // not in an inline onclick attribute:
    $('input[name="billingtoo"]').click(function() {
        var $mySelect2 = $("#mySelect2");
        // if checkbox is checked set the second select value to
        // the same as the first
        if (this.checked)
            $mySelect2.val( $("#mySelect").val() );
        // disable or re-enable select according to state of checkbox:
        $mySelect2.prop("disabled", this.checked);
    });
});
