All major browsers support the disabled attribute.
Definition and Usage
The disabled attribute is a boolean attribute.
If this attribute is present, the button is disabled.
A disabled button is unusable and unclickable.
You can set the disabled attribute so that users can click the button only when certain conditions are met (for example, when a checkbox is selected, etc.). Then, JavaScript can be used to remove the disabled attribute, making the button usable again.
Differences between HTML 4.01 and HTML5

Differences between HTML and XHTML
