The HTML attribute 'disabled' for the option tag might help you out here.
Another option would be to catch off selection of the 'Resolved' state when parsing the submission of the form.
Lastly you could alter the script to display something else instead of the selection box when the 'Resolved' state applies.
Personally I think the latter is the most elegant solution.
