asp.net mvc disable list box

Question

how can i disable the list box

Html.ListBox("Organization", Model.OrgListbox as MultiSelectList)

Answer 1

You use the htmlAttributes parameter:

Html.ListBox("Organization", Model.OrgListbox as MultiSelectList, new { disabled = "disabled" })

Answer 2

If you want to add the disabled attribute to the HTML then you would do this:

Html.ListBox("Organization", Model.OrgListbox as MultiSelectList, new { disabled = "disabled" })

This calls the overload of Html.ListBox where you can specify htmlAttributes that are added to the rendered HTML.

Alternatively you could use jQuery, doing something like this:

$("#controlId).attr("disabled","disabled");
