forms - Display of disabled input fields


How should an input field appear when it is disabled? One idea is to show 'Disabled' as value within the input field. Is there a better idea to indicate an input text field is disabled?


The input box needs to be disabled until a check box is checked(checkbox for terms of service)



Answer



I'm actually a fan of how bootstrap does their disabled input field.

They even have it set where the mouse arrow changes on hover for added clarification.

However, using it is another matter. Sometimes, not showing something until it's available may be a better solution. Perhaps you should explain better in detail on what you're trying to accomplish.
