One of our customers has a hard time reading the grey text in disabled control in our web-based application:
We would like to change the style to a light grey background and a black text. Unfortunately, most browsers (including IE, which is what the customer is using) ignore the color: ... CSS attribute on disabled controls, so we cannot change the foreground color.
For text boxes (input type="text"), this can easily be workarounded by using the readonly instead of the disabled attribute. Unfortunately, this is not an option for dropdowns (select) or checkboxes (input type="checkbox").
Is there an easy workaround for that? Preferebly one where the control does not need to be replaced by another type of control? (...since our controls are rendered by ASP.NET)
PS: Using the [disabled] selector in CSS does not make a difference.
