Firefox supports colors on disabled form elements, but IE and Opera don't.<br />
AFAIK, there is no way you can change that.<br />
You can tell the complaining users that they can use firefox.<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
&lt;input type=&quot;text&quot; disabled style=&quot;background: #EEE; color: black;&quot; value=&quot;hello&quot;&gt;<br />
&lt;input type=&quot;button&quot; disabled style=&quot;background: #EEE; color: black;&quot; value=&quot;hello&quot;&gt;<br />

I cann't force them to use Firefox, these controls was .net web controls, otherwise I can use the readonly mode.<br />
<br />
But I change the Background color. It does make them more clear and readable now.

You can't change the fore-color but you can change the background color for disable controls in IE.

Hi,<br />
<br />
I have web pages when they are in un-editable or read only mode; the text box, check box/radio box, select box etc... are in default dim color (light grey) and users complaint that they are hard to read. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
How am I going to change the fore-ground color?<br />
<br />
Many Thanks,<br />

change different text color when read only or not editable

Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a language used for describing the look and formatting of a document written in a markup language. Usually used to change web pages and user interfaces written in HTML, it can also be applied to any kind of XML document. CSS is designed primarily to distinguish the content of a document from its presentation.
