If you want to use server side with AP thne Dave's solution will work.
On the client side you will need to set the disabled property for any html element you want to be disabled.

<input type="text" disabled="disabled">

You can change it dynamically (mouse over the button):

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>Attribute "disabled"</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function Change() {
var obj=document.getElementById("myName");
if (obj.hasAttribute("disabled")) {
obj.removeAttribute("disabled");
}
else {
obj.setAttribute("disabled", "disabled");
}
}
//-->
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form name="MyForm">
<input type="text" id="myName" name="myName" value="possibly"/><br />
<button type="button" onmouseover="Change()">Change</button>
</form>
</body>
</html>
