[jquery] jQuery - disable selected options

This seems to work:

$("#theSelect").change(function(){          
    var value = $("#theSelect option:selected").val();
    var theDiv = $(".is" + value);

    theDiv.slideDown().removeClass("hidden");
    //Add this...
    $("#theSelect option:selected").attr('disabled', 'disabled');
});


$("div a.remove").click(function () {     
    $(this).parent().slideUp(function() { $(this).addClass("hidden"); });
    //...and this.
    $("#theSelect option:disabled").removeAttr('disabled');
});
