How to Easily Change a Select Tag's required Attribute to disabled Using JavaScript

When working on web forms, sometimes you need to dynamically change the attributes of your input elements based on user interactions. One common scenario is needing to change the required attribute of a select tag to prevent form submission before a selection is made. In this guide, we will explore how to change a select tag's required attribute to disabled using JavaScript. Let's dive into the details!

In this case, the second select tag (bank1) is required, meaning the user must make a choice before submitting the form. However, you want to change this requirement to a hidden attribute when the first select tag changes.

The JavaScript Function

To achieve this, we use a JavaScript function that gets triggered upon changing the first select tag. Here’s the initial code:
