javascript equivalent of Disable feature in IE6

I have come across a requirement to disable the drop down items through the following javascript code.

function alertselected(selectobj){
 alert(selectobj.selectedIndex)
 if(selectobj.selectedIndex ==1){
    alert('15656');
    document.getElementById("reportFlag").disabled=true;
 }else{
    document.getElementById("reportFlag").disabled=false;
 }
}

Can any one suggest how do i implement this feature without using the disable feature.

http://www.w3schools.com/TAGS/att_option_disabled.asp Above link says that disable attribute is not supported in IE.

Please help me other equivalent approach for the same

The disabled attribute is defined on the input element in the HTML 4.01 spec as follows:

When set for a form control, this boolean attribute disables the control for user input.

It is also defined on the option element.

I would not use w3schools as an authoritative source of information - they are not affiliated with w3 (despite the name) and have many inaccuracies (which they don't fix, even when asked) - see http://w3fools.com
