hi,

<input type="text" disabled="true" onFocus="this.blur();"
style="background-color:gray">

disabled="true"  works only for Internet Explorer
onFocus="this.blur();" will work for both the browsers BUT make sure 
that you have more then one items on your page.
style="background-color:gray" you can mention a lighter color if you 
want. (specify it's RGB value)

  How can I "grey out" a text box field unless a condition is met (e.g.,
  another field is selected)? I thought someone provided a solution, but 
I
  can't find it .

  Thanks for your help!
