Is disabled to be set in the style of a tag just like visible? I am trying
to set the whole content of a td tag to disabled like this,
style='disabled:true' and it does not seem to work. Is this possible of is
disabled not to be set in style?

It's actually an HTML question, but since you're here...

In the HTML 4 specification, 'disabled' is an attribute of button,
input, optgroup, option, select, and textarea elements. It can have two
values: true or false.

<URL:http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/interact/forms.html#adef-disabled>


It's value can be set in the HTML source (if set, the value is 'true'
and the element is disabled):

<input type="text" .... disabled>

Or by script:

<form ...>
<input type="text" name="textA">
<input type="button" value="Disable textA" onclick="
this.form.textA.disabled = true;
">
...
</form>


If set to 'true', the element is disabled. If set to false, it is
enabled (i.e. is is not disabled).
