Disable Form Elements Using Event Capturing

Is it possible to make form elements unusable without setting the disabled property for each element?

My idea was this:

container.addEventListener('click', fu开发者_如何学Pythonnction(e) {
    e.stopPropagation();
    e.preventDefault();
}, true);

It behaves as intended for non form elements but it won't stop e.g. select elements from showing their options when clicked.

The select will be open after the mousedown event so this is the event you have to stop. http://jsfiddle.net/6K9Mj/
