Is there a way to disable a web form control (change the Enabled
property to false) without the control being dimmed out when it's
rendered? I have quite a few of them on the form and they are hard to
read when they are disabled .

Sorry for asking about web form cotrols in this group but I don't know
whese else to post.

Thanks,

Well, it issues like this vary by browser the control and browser, but
if you use skins and cssClass styles that have "Images" for the control
then browsers like Firefox will not show the button or control as
disabled even when disabled = true. I had wanted to fix the firefox
issue as I had found IE browsers show disabled button controls when
disabled = true (or Enabled if a webcontrol) even with skins or
cssClass while Firefox did not (so I had to add a style attribute).
