I'm experiencing some difficulty using jquery to change the background-color of a disabled input field. Despite my efforts, I haven't been able to override the default grey background-color:
if (parseFloat($('#showDispRem').val()) > parseFloat($('#showDisp').val())){
alert("Greater than");
// $("showDispRem").css("background-color","#ff9999"); //failed
$("showDispRem").css("background-color","#ff9999 !important"); //failed
// $("showDispRem").css("cssText", "background-color #ff9999 !important;"); //failed
}
