visibly disable img link

Hi;

We have image links via ButtonField and when it is disabled, the link does
not work but the image looks the same. Any suggestions to make the image look
disabled?

Hi Dave,

As for the ImageButton it is rendered as <input type="image" src="...."
/>, when you set its "Enabled=false", it is rendered as

<input type="image" disabled="disabled" .../>

And the image will still display as normal, it is only the postback/submit
behavior that will be disabled. If you want to make the button also
display the image like a disabled one(masked), you need to change the
imagebutton's url to another image (has the picture look as disabled one).

e.g.

if(imageButton.Enabled == false)
{
imageButton.Src = "disabled image url";
}

Hi;

That's what I thought - but figured I should ask in case ASP had some better
solution.

Thanks for your reply Dave,

So far ASP.NET server control also provide the same disable behavior as
HTML element.

Please feel free to let me know if you have any other questions or ideas on
this.
