Disabled fields

[knguyen99]

I used the disabled="true" to lock the input text that make the text inside that field show not clear and not exactly the same color text as it was.
Any ideal?

i think that is the way a browser handles disabled fields - it makes the text in them a sort of aligh-grey color (if i am not mistaken).
you could try assigning a class to that text box and declaring the text color in a stylesheet.

you could also use:

readonly="readonly"

the disadvantages to applying style sheets to disabled and enabled input types is they override the disabled greyed out features, so you can't tell which one is disabled, it really sux. :(

you make a very good point.

CSS2's attribute selectors can help with that. Too bad IE doesn't see 'em.

input [disabled="true"] {
/* style rules here */
}

I tried readonly="readonly". It's NOT worked.

I prefer

<input ... readonly="true" ... />
