Disabled Menus

disabled: true

Menu 1

To programmatically change disabled state after initial setup:
$("selector").accordion("option", "disabled", boolean);
$("selector").accordion("disable");
$("selector").accordion("enable);

Menu 2

This accordion menu is static and cannot be interacted with. This text will only be visible if the disabled state is toggled off using the button to the left.
