title: Can I style a disabled control using CSS or script?
body: <p>I have a HTML <code>div</code> element on a page that is updated when a <code>select</code> element on the page changes. Sometimes the <code>input</code> tags (text boxes) need to be disabled based on the selection. </p>
  
  <p>Here is the problem: the project stakeholders like the functionality, they just think in the "disabled" state, the text box contents are too light and therefore unreadable. Can I apply CSS to a disabled control? Or should I be setting the text boxes to <code>readonly</code> and using some other CSS. This application is also using jQuery, if that helps. And ideas or suggestions here?</p>
