have you tried input[disabled] as a css selector or input:disabled. Unfortunately I don't think there's a way to do this is IE without javascript.

Locrizak is right,

input[disabled]

it is called attribute selector, and you can easily style it in CSS. If you want to be consistent with the results you can find here a good guide.

The problem comes if you use IE6, because attribute selectors are not supported (Reference)

If you want to be sure that the result is cross-browser compatible, just add a new class to your element.

<input type="button" class="disabled"/>

this will work in IE6 as well.
