How do I show a disabled button?
The 'disabled' is an attribute of <button> tag in HTML, which is used to denote that the button is disabled. It is a Boolean attribute. The disabled button cannot be used for clicking, and it appears as a grey color.
Is it OK to GREY out disabled buttons?
For a smooth and seamless experience, it's best to avoid graying out your disabled buttons. Instead, you should decrease the opacity to make it transparent. When the disabled button is transparent, users can see some semblance of the button in its enabled state.
Should a disabled button be clickable?
A disabled button is unusable and un-clickable. The disabled attribute can be set to keep a user from clicking on the button until some other condition has been met (like selecting a checkbox, etc.).
Are disabled buttons accessible?
Sometimes disabled buttons are designed in a way that they cannot be read by a screen reader (buttons are not focusable, and hence users can't reach them with a keyboard). No need to explain that users with disabilities will face problems with such behavior.
