Black text in Disabled text input?

[jodleren]

Hi!

I have a <input type="text" name="indeks" size=2 disabled>
It is used for some JS which places its output here.

How can I keep the text black, and eventually have the background in
the same colour as the page background colour?

You don't. Its an input, the purpose of the control is to collect data
from the user. If you want to display output, use something else, such
as a paragraph.

Or use <input type="hidden" name="indeks" value="To be set with JS">

If you really need to display this in a input, perhaps rather then using
the disabled attribute, try the readonly attribute.

Although I think Jonathan's suggestion for a form element that you don't
want a user to edit is the best one.
