The code you're using would work on a normal dropdown (<select>) element, but the plugin works in such a way that it creates new markup to emulate dropdown behaviour — it no longer supports native form element properties, so setting the disabled attribute has no effect on it.

However, the plugin does expose its own disabled property — it just isn't triggered the same way. The documentation could be clearer, but it says that you can use the .set() method to modify properties. Taking that into account, the code should be:

$('#id').data('dd').set('disabled', true);

…or, if it hasn't been initialized yet:

$('#id').msDropDown({disabled:true});
