Font color of (disabled) textbox

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:

How do I change the font color of a (disabled) textbox?

I made an input box, and another input box which I disabled.

The idea is to fill in a value in box1, press a button, and get a value after a calculation.
Only the value in the disabled box should be red instead of grey…

[code]
<form>
<input type=”text” name=”box1″>&nbsp;&nbsp;<input type=”button” name=”button1″ onClick=”minsec()” value=”press to calculate”>
<br>
<input thpe=”text” name=”box2″ disabled>
</form>

[/code]

The script is working fine, just the font color of box2 has to be changed…

In advanced thanks,

René

<i>
</i>&lt;html&gt;
...

&lt;style&gt;
#box2 {
...
}
&lt;/style&gt;

...
&lt;input type="text" name="box2" [b]id="box2"[/b] disabled&gt;

@renevanhauthorMar 08.2005 — And what do I have to put between the <style> tags to change the color?

I'm quite new to CSS, so I need a little more...

In advanced thanks,

@FangMar 08.2005 — You can change the disabled field's color in FF but not in IE

An alternative is this:
&lt;!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"&gt;
&lt;html lang="en"&gt;
&lt;head&gt;
&lt;title&gt;disabled field&lt;/title&gt;
&lt;meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"&gt;
&lt;style type="text/css"&gt;
&lt;!--
#box2 {
background:lightgrey;
color:red
}
--&gt;
&lt;/style&gt;

&lt;/head&gt;
&lt;body&gt;
&lt;form&gt;
&lt;input type="text" name="box1"&gt; &lt;input type="button" name="button1" onClick="minsec()" value="press to calculate"&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;input type="text" name="box2" id="box2" onfocus="this.blur();" value="none"&gt;
&lt;/form&gt;
&lt;/body&gt;
&lt;/html&gt;
