Hi all,
I have a client select box which I want to set as read only, but because I have it set as disabled the font colour is not red like I wanted it seems to go to a default grey. How can I override this for this control only?

will this work:
<html>
<head>
</STYLE>
<style type="text/css"></style>
</head>
<body>
<input class="formButton" type="button" value="Button" name="B3" disabled>
</body>
</html>

actually that wont solve your poblem...

after doing some research, i found that it wont work, it will always chane the text color, but you can make a custome button, look at this link:

PS: i dont believe you can disable buttons in Fire Fox!

if you HAVE to get rid of it, you could play around with java script.

take a look at this link:
