Angus,
You should be able to do this with CSS. I'm not looking at the CSS for
label right now, but something like in XUL:
<label value="My disabled label" disabled="true" id="MyDisLabel"/>
Could be made to look disabled with this in CSS:
label[disabled="true"] {
color: darkgrey;
}
which would match any label with the disabled attribute set to true...
It is early for me tho, so I think you may want to do some looking into
the CSS on your own (look in classic.jar for examples)
