Description
Disabled widgets in high contrast mode by-and-large appear the same as when they are enabled. It's because we generally use background-color and text-color to indicate disabled-ness, neither of which have meaning in high-contrast mode.
Becky suggested that we could set opacity (for example, to 50%) as a way to mark disabled buttons, textboxes, sliders, etc.
Usually opacity settings are bad because the page background then seeps through the widget, but that's not an issue in high-contrast mode because there is no background shown.

I tried setting opacity:
.dijit_a11y .dijitDisabled { opacity: 50%; #filter: alpha(opacity = 50); #zoom: 1; }
It works for IE6, but not IE8 or FF4.
So, I'm going to close this, we can reopen if someone knows a way to do this.
reassign due to inactive committer. please triage accordingly.
