Setting the text color of a disabled text box

Simply put - if I have a disabled textbox how could I change the font-color
from gray?

e.g. <input type="text" disabled></input>

Color no longer seems to work. Can it be done and if so how?

Thanks,
Chris Ullman

Only in Mozilla/Netscape:
input[disabled] {color:red!important;}

As in:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title> New Document </title>
<style type="text/css">
input {
color: green;
}
input[disabled] {color:red!important;}
</style>

</head>

<body>
<form>
<input type="text" disabled value="disabled"></input><br>
<input type="text" value="normal"></input>
</form>
</body>
</html>
I didn't find a way for IE or Opera.
