I am trying to disable a field, i.e. grey it out and not allow the user to select it. To achieve this effect I am currently calling

crmForm.all.new_attribute1.disabled = true; 
crmForm.all.new_attribute2.Disabled = true;

The Disable, with a capital D, makes the field grayed out but the user can still put the cursor in that field or tab to it.

The disable, with a little d, makes the field unavailable to the cursor and via tab, but gives no visual indication that it can't be interacted with.

Is there a better way to do this, one call that will achieve similar results or am I stuck having both there?
