Disable optgroup

Hi,

How to disable the items under optgroup. Here disabled=disaled doesnot work

echo "<optgroup label=\"Disabled Names\" name=disabledcluster>";
                 $down=disabled($pstatus);

                    foreach($down as $d){
                 echo "<option value=\"\" disabled=\"disabled\" style=\"color:#FF0000;\"><font color=\"#FF0000\">$d</font></option>";
                    }
            echo "</optgroup>";

Looks like the options should be disabled. However, I should point out the name is not a valid attribute for <optgroup> elements. Perhaps you should make that an id? Also, the <font> tag is superfluous, and they are deprecated, anyway. I would therefore suggest:

echo '<optgroup label="Disabled Names" id="disabledcluster">';
$down=disabled($pstatus);
foreach($down as $d){
   echo '<option value="" disabled="disabled" style="color:#FF0000;">'.$d.'</option>';
}
echo "</optgroup>";

If that's still not working, try running it through the HTML validator to make sure some other mark-up error is not messing things up for you.
