HTMLTextAreaElement: disabled property
Baseline
Widely available
This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since July 2015.
The disabled property of the HTMLTextAreaElement interface indicates whether this multi-line text control is disabled and cannot be interacted with. It reflects the <textarea> element's disabled attribute. When false, this textarea may still be disabled if its containing element, such as a <fieldset>, is disabled.
Value
A boolean.
Examples
js
const textareaElement = document.getElementById("comment");
if (commentsDisabled) {
textareaElement.disabled = true;
}
