How to set font-color for a disabled textbox

[saravanan k]

hi,

I have a Rad Text box

 

<telerik:RadTextBox ID="RadTextBox1" runat="server"  Text="Test" Enabled="false">

 

 

<DisabledStyle CssClass="MyInvalidTextBox" ></DisabledStyle>

 

 

</telerik:RadTextBox>

and the following style

 

 

html body form .RadInput .MyInvalidTextBox

 

 

 

 

{

 

border-color: #f33;

 

 

background: none #ff9;

 

 

color: Black;

 

}

After disabling the text box, the font color still remains greyed out.?
Can you please help me with this.

Regards
Saravanank

Hi Saravanan k,

Internet Explorer does not allow changing the text color of disabled elements. It is always grey.

I spent almost three hours trying to do this and researching before I managed to do a correct search to find this post.   I basically wasted a lot of time screwing with CCS files assuming _I_ must be doing something wrong since there are so many examples in the tutorial - naturally it didn't occur do me that none of them were the disabled style.

HOW about putting this FREAKING important information about 95% of the desktops in the help file?  Seriously guys.  Slack.

Hi Nick,

We have already added a note about this issue and the help article will be updated within a couple of days.

In similar cases you can verify whether the problem is control-specific or browser specific by using a Web Developer Toolbar and/or trying the styles with a plain HTML element.
