without disabling the selected value on submitting        selectID option not  selected    prop  disabled   true    If you use Jquery version lesser than 1 7     selectID option not  selected    attr  disabled   true     It works for me

You can simulate a readonly select box using the CSS pointer-events property   select readonly        pointer-events  none      The HTML tabindex property will also prevent it from being selected by keyboard tabbing    lt select tabindex  -1  gt     x000D   x000D  select readonly  x000D    x000D      pointer-events  none  x000D    x000D   x000D   x000D     irrelevent styling    x000D   x000D    x000D    x000D    box-sizing  border-box  x000D    x000D   x000D    readonly  x000D    x000D    background   fafafa  x000D    border  1px solid  ccc  x000D    color   555  x000D    x000D   x000D  input  select x000D    x000D    display block  x000D    width  20rem  x000D    padding  0 5rem  x000D    margin-bottom  1rem  x000D    x000D   lt form gt  x000D     lt input type  text  value  this is a normal text box  gt  x000D     lt input type  text  readonly value  this is a readonly text box  gt  x000D     lt select readonly tabindex  -1  gt  x000D       lt option gt This is a readonly select box lt  option gt  x000D       lt option gt Option 2 lt  option gt  x000D     lt  select gt  x000D     lt select gt  x000D       lt option gt This is a normal select box lt  option gt  x000D       lt option gt Option 2 lt  option gt  x000D     lt  select gt  x000D   lt  form gt  x000D   x000D   x000D
