Solution :

HTML Code:

<!DOCTYPE html><!-- Declaration specifying the document type -->
<html><!-- Opening tag for the root element of the HTML document -->
<head><!-- Opening tag for the document's header section -->
<meta charset="utf-8"><!-- Metadata tag specifying the character encoding of the document -->
<title>How to specify that an input element should be disabled</title><!-- Title of the HTML document -->
</head><!-- Closing tag for the document's header section -->
<body><!-- Opening tag for the document's body section -->
<form method="POST" action="https://www.w3resource.com/html-css-exercise/basic/solution/input-disabled-answer-demo.php"><!-- Form element defining a form with method and action attributes -->
<!-- Form inputs -->
  Name: <input type="text" name="name"><br><!-- Text input field for entering the name -->
  Email: <input type="text" email="email" disabled><br><!-- Text input field for entering the email, with the disabled attribute to disable it -->
<input type="submit" value="Submit"><!-- Submit button to submit the form data -->
</form>
</body><!-- Closing tag for the document's body section -->
</html><!-- Closing tag for the root element of the HTML document -->

Explanation:

This HTML code demonstrates how to create a form with input fields, one of which is disabled.
The form is configured with the method attribute set to "POST" and the action attribute set to the URL where the form data will be submitted.
Within the form, there are two input fields: one for entering the name and another for entering the email.
The email input field has the disabled attribute, which disables it and prevents user input.
