Disabled Text Box

Question….is there anyway to change the apearance of a disabled text box. I need to auto-populate a field in a form using javascript but I don’t want the user to be able to change what is in the box. So i am trying to make the box easy to see but impossible to use.

@orionbrock32authorJan 26.2007 — I have that, what I am wondering is can you change it so that the text box looks like a normal textbox but cannot be changed by the user. I have a way for it to work in firefox but nothing for ie as of now.

<i>
</i>&lt;style type="text/css"&gt;
input {
color: black;
}
input[disabled] {color:black!important;}
&lt;/style&gt;



<i>
</i>&lt;input type="text" name="finalDestination" disabled&gt;

[CODE]<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
input {
border:1px solid black;
background-color:#fff;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<input type="text" name="finalDestination" disabled>
</body>
</html>[/CODE]

Success!
