      For the most part, this is not really an ASP issue. But here are some
      suggestions, assuming you mean HTML SELECT elements, not "combo items":

      • Don't use them
      • Toggle the [disabled] property
      • Set the DISABLED attribute
      • Omit the NAME attribute
      • Ignore its value on the server side

          Huh? That's a new one. What is your objection to using SELECT elements and
          what's the alternative?

              I have no objection to SELECT elements. Not using them happens to be one way
              to avoid giving the client access to them.

              I am a client-side-security atheist, and whenever I see a question like
              this, I suspect a well-meaning but useless "security" effort. If the point
              of "disabling" is to improve some logic flow or otherwise enhance the UI,
              fine. But what's the point in putting all of those OPTIONS on the page if
              you don't want the user to have access to them? In many such cases, simply
              not using a SELECT element would be a better design choice.
