changing font color for disabled box

[flnMichael]

Hey,
Is it possible to change the font color for a disabled text box? I can change the background color and the font weight. I have yet to figure out whether or not I can change the color of the font.

Thanks
Mike

Have you tried this:

input.disabled {
  color: #FF0000;
}

and then when disabling your input, give it a class of "disabled":

myInputObj.disabled = true;
myInputObj.className = 'disabled';

I've not tried it, but then again, nor have you ;o)

I tried doing it like this:

<input style="color:#FF0000;" value="hello" disabled="disabled">

It didn't work (on IE6/Win). The text gets that "chiselled" look that Windows gives to disabled things. If you want to pick a colour, do this instead:

<input style="color:#FF0000;" value="hello" readonly="readonly">
