A disabled text area:
The disabled attribute is a boolean attribute.
When present, it specifies that the text area should be disabled.
A disabled text area is unusable and the text is not selectable (cannot be copied).
The disabled attribute can be set to keep a user from using the text area until some other condition has been met (like selecting a checkbox, etc.). Then, a JavaScript could remove the disabled value, and make the text area usable.

NONE.
In XHTML, attribute minimization is forbidden, and the disabled attribute must be defined as <textarea disabled="disabled">.
