Question

I have a drop down html form and would like to display the disabled=disabled element (view the edit below)
At first initial glance, the form skips the disabled element and displays “option 1”.

<select>
    <option disabled='disabled'>Title</option>
    <option>Option 1</option>
    <option>Option 2</option>
    <option>Option 3</option>
</select>

Is this possible with just html or css?
If not then how about jQuery or javascript?

Edit
Would like the form to look like this

Currently it looks like

Answer 1

Add selected="selected" to your first option.

<select>
    <option selected="selected" disabled='disabled'>Visible Title</option>
    <option>Option 1</option>
    <option>Option 2</option>
    <option>Option 3</option>
</select>
