Giving a read-only check box a disabled effect

[ajindal]

Hi,
I have made my check box read-only but I want it to give it a disabled effect. I don't want to use checkbox.disabled = true. Instead I want to make it read only and make it look like a disabled checkbox. One thing is that I can paste an image over it...Is there any other way out.
Regards

Why not? If you are making it readonly, it's basically the same, and you can disabled=false it whenever you need to.

Posting code? Wrap it with code tags: [ignore]

[/ignore][code]CodeHere

[ignore][/code][/ignore].

Thanks...actually I don't want to make it disabled because it is giving the same problem I have already posted before. The partial solution to the previous thread I posted is:
i used
checkbox.attachEvent("onClick",clickHandler);
In clickhandler I returned false.
so it works.
But I have to give the checkbox the effect of a disabled checkbox.
