Answer 1

In case anyone wants to be able to disable a drop down list by text instead of value, here's what I did:

$("#DDL option").filter(function () {
    return $(this).text() === "Text 1" ||
           $(this).text() === "Text 2" ||
           $(this).text() === "Text 3";
}).prop("disabled", true);
