Disable ASP.NET ImageButton in non-IE Browsers

Question

I have an <asp:ImageButton /> which has its enabled property set to false.

This works in Internet Explorer, the button is not 'clickable', but in other browsers you can click it. However, nothing happens when you click the imagebutton in these other browsers.

How can I disable the ability to click the button in browsers outside of Internet Explorer?

Answer 1

Add or remove the following in your code-behind file, at the same spot you set ImageButton1.Enabled = false.

ImageButton1.Attributes["disabled"] = "disabled";

Answer 2

If i understand correctly, the ImageButton is disabled, so it doesn't cause a post back. The issue is that the 'hand' cursor is still displayed in Firefox when putting the mouse over of the ImageButton. If this is the case you can change the cursor for the ImageButton like this:

<style type="text/css">
    .pointer
    {
        cursor:default;
    }
</style>

<asp:ImageButton ID="ImageButton1" runat="server" 
     ImageUrl="~/Images/image.bmp" Enabled="false" />

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    ImageButton1.CssClass = !ImageButton1.Enabled ? "pointer" : "";
}
