	</p>

 

I am trying to implement code like above on a UI page to display an input box.

I want to show a grayed out input box that doesn't accept input, but it doesn't work.

I was able to implement a function that does not accept input, but it cannot be grayed out. .

I am not sure why it has been not grayed out for you, coz  I have used same code and it has performed both the operations for me, please update the code as mentioned below and try again!

 

 <textarea disabled="true" style="background-color: #EFEFEF" id="test_field" cols="40" rows="8" maxlength="100"></textarea>

You have implemented correctly, just missed one typo (ture should be true) as mentioned below:

 

<textarea disabled = "true"  id="test_field" cols="40" rows="8" maxlength="100"></textarea>

I'm sorry. . .

The code you posted is a typo.

The actual working code is error free, but it doesn't greyed out. .

The above code also does not gray out even if you fix the mistake. .

I have tried in HTML editor and it worked!

you can try in the UI page(client script) as below:

 

var textArea = document.getElementById("test_field");
textArea.disabled = 'true';

 

If it doesn't work, please share some more details of you UI page(screenshot or script will work)

Thank you for answering!

As a trial, could you create a UI page with the following contents?
The input field is deactivated but not grayed out. .
