This is not practical if attempting to find a general solution to this problem. The area to be disabled may contain H1,H2's etc with background colors and font-text or who knows what. I'm not really ready to concede to styling every element within the main container.
Unfortunately I can't host the actual html but I've taken a screenshot of how the markup renders in every browser but IE6/IE7 using an absolutely positioned element on top of area to appear inactive using an opacity value. http://yfrog.com/58overlayg Notice how nice and disabled area looks, it actually looks "disabled".

Then using that class you target the elements you want in there. .disabled input, .disabled .oddRow {} etc. Anyway, next step would be to use a (one-time) CSS expression to set width and height of the overlay according to the dimensions of the parent container. -- Regards, Thierry | http://www.TJKDesign.com Attention: The information contained in this message and or attachments is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.
