tween disabled and readonly

Hi Anne,

You could use CSS styles to change the color of the background and text 
of
the textboxes. Something like:

<style>
         .disabledTextBox
         {
                 background-color: #D3D3D3;
                 color: #000000;

         }.Test
</style>

<input type=3D"text" class=3D"disabledTextBox" value=3D"readonly"
readonly=3D"readonly" />

But I also think the user will pretty soon find out they can't change a
thing. Not only their changes aren't saved, they are not able at all to
make any change.

Cheers,


Imar
