[Opensource] Greyed out values

[David Herron]

Sree,

Since an expresso web app just delivers HTML to a web browser, anything 
you wish to do has to be doable in HTML, yes?

Ergo, your first step is to figure out how to do it in HTML, yes?

That said, I don't know how to do something like that in HTML.
