Is there a way to make an item in a drop down list inactive?
For instance I'm trying to sell tickets to three different events with each event being a different item in a drop down list. When one event sells out, I'd like to append the words "Sold Out" to the event's title and then "grey out" the title in the drop down list so that the user can still see it but not be able to actually select it. Is something like this possible?
Thanks

Here is what I would do after I exported my menu.
I would add this to my stylesheet:
Then add the class to the link i want disabled:

<a href="link.html" class="disabled">Link</a>

Donald, How are you determining if an item is sold out? Are you using mysql?
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

You have to have some method of tracking inventory first, and then, each time a purchase is made it has to subtract the item from inventory. So before you start thinking about marking items as sold out, the inventory tracking needs to be in place. How are you tracking your inventory?

Thanks for all of the input. I was just looking for something quick and easy that didn't require a lot of extra messing around with the exported code. I'm not using sql or officially tracking inventory - its just a quick and dirty form.

I would use my method then and you can add that to your form after export if you want. You can also tweak the code after export, no need to reexport your form for that type of change.

Why not keep it simple and just remove that option from the drop down when it's no longer available and just update the page the form is on and say it's sold out for that particular choice. Since you have to reupload to make any changes anyways this would be the cleanest and easiest way to do it.
