Detailed explanation of HTML's <input> tag and how to disable it

Definition and Usage
The <input> tag is used to collect user information.
Depending on the value of the type attribute, the input field can have many forms. Input fields can be text fields, check boxes, masked text controls, radio buttons, buttons, and so on.
Differences between HTML and XHTML
In HTML, the <input> tag has no closing tag.
In XHTML, <input> tags must be properly closed.
Examples
A simple HTML form with two text input boxes and a submit button:

XML/HTML CodeCopy content to clipboard

< form action = "form_action.asp" method = "get" >
First name: < input type = "text" name = "fname" />
Last name: < input type = "text" name = "lname" />
< input type = "submit" value = "Submit" />
</ form >

The disabled attribute specifies that the input element should be disabled.
A disabled input element is neither usable nor clickable. The disabled property can be set until some other condition is met (such as a checkbox being selected, etc.). Then, you need to use JavaScript to remove the disabled value and switch the value of the input element to enabled.

The following three ways can disable input

XML/HTML CodeCopy content to clipboard

< input type = "text" disabled = "disabled" value = "disabled" />
< input type = "text" disabled = "disabled" value = "disabled" />
< input type = "text" disabled = "disabled" value = "disabled" />

Disabled input is grayed out by default and can be styled using CSS. Note: IE9 and below cannot change the font color
1. Use CSS3 :disabled pseudo-element definition

CSS CodeCopy content to clipboard

//Chrome Firefox Opera Safari
input:disabled{
border : 1px solid #DDD ;
background-color : #F5F5F5 ;
color : #ACA899 ;
}

2. Define using attribute selectors

CSS CodeCopy content to clipboard

//IE6 failed
input[disabled]{
border : 1px solid #DDD ;
background-color : #F5F5F5 ;
color : #ACA899 ;
}

3. Use class to define and add a class to the input to be disabled

CSS CodeCopy content to clipboard

input.disabled{
border : 1px solid #DDD ;
background-color : #F5F5F5 ;
color : #ACA899 ;
}

Final result:

CSS CodeCopy content to clipboard

//Chrome Firefox Opera Safari IE9+
input:disabled{
border : 1px solid #DDD ;
background-color : #F5F5F5 ;
color : #ACA899 ;
}
//IE8-
input[disabled]{
border : 1px solid #DDD ;
background-color : #F5F5F5 ;
color : #ACA899 ;
}
//IE6 Using Javascript to add CSS class "disabled"
* html input.disabled{
border : 1px solid #DDD ;
background-color : #F5F5F5 ;
color : #ACA899 ;
}

Note: IE8 bug
Since IE8 does not recognize :disabled, the input[disabled] and input:disabled styles are invalid. You can consider writing them separately or using input[disabled] directly. ; IE9 and below cannot change the font color.
