I want to create a text area which is grey and read-only,then user can't change it in a form. I know how to make it read-only, but how to make it grey? background?

stylesheet:
input.readonly {background-color: #C0C0C0 }

form:
<INPUT type=&quot;text&quot; class=&quot;readonly&quot; READONLY value=&quot;you can't change this field&quot;>
hope this helps

Thanks, Deziner and y2k1981:
I tried both. Deziner's method change the font color to grey. While y2k1981's method has some problem. I change like this, then it works.
stylesheet:
input#anyid {background color:#C0C0C0}
form:
<input id=&quot;anyid&quot; .... READONLY>

Thank you again.
