When disabling HTML buttons, a shadow gets added to the button text. I’m styling the buttons myself and I would like to only have the one colour (white) with NO shadow but I do not know how to do it efficiently.
My previous method was to leave it enabled and re-style the button’s hover + active states and ignore the click vai Javascript. Told you, not very efficient!
EDIT: image to show the shadow (being viewed in IE9) + a zoomed version.

After hours of fiddling, I’ve come to the conclusion it cannot be done with IE.
Since I handle all the button clicks using jQuery, I just ignore any button that has my CSS selected property applied. Granted it is probably not the most elegant solution, but it is cross-browser viewbale.
Thanks Nicole and danferth for the help.
