Setting the text color of a disabled text box

Simply put - if I have a disabled textbox how could I change the font-color
from gray?

e.g. <input type="text" disabled></input>

Color no longer seems to work. Can it be done and if so how?

Thanks,
Chris Ullman

Only in Mozilla/Netscape:
input[disabled] {color:red!impo rtant;}

As in:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title> New Document </title>
<style type="text/css">
input {
color: green;
}
input[disabled] {color:red!impo rtant;}
</style>

</head>

<body>
<form>
<input type="text" disabled value="disabled "></input><br>
<input type="text" value="normal"> </input>
</form>
</body>
</html>
I didn't find a way for IE or Opera.

You know how the text in the attached label sort of 'greys out' when you click something that sets MyTextbox.Enabled = False? I would like to make a label's text look like that? How do I do it? It look sort-a-like sunken text or shadowed - I don't know what.

I have a LinkButton in an ASP.NET web form. Depending on the current state of affairs, I either enable or disable the link button in by code-behind class (e.g., disable the "Previous" button if you are already at the first record). I have constructed a very nice style for the button in my stylesheet, but the style is ignored when I disable the button. So, how do I control the display attributes of a disabled HTML widget? Thanks...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
