You can use the "disabled" attribute in HTML:
<input type="radio" name="somename" disabled>
....and set it in Javascript (looping a radio button array):
var radios = document.forms["someform"].elements["somename"];
for(var i = 0, max = radios.length; i < max; i++){
radios[i].disabled=1; //Or 0 for enabling it
}
For the table background and the text, you could create different CSS
classes and then do:
var thing = document.getElementById("someid");
if(thing)
thing.className="myGrayedOutCSSname";
Add an onclick handler to the checkbox that calls a function that takes
care of enabling/disabling:
<input type="checkbox" name="somename"
onclick="toggleTableState(this.checked);">
then in the <head>:
function toggleTableState(inEnable){
// Enable/disable radio buttons
// Set className of whatever it is that should look different
}
