Push Button and Selector Switch Masks

Push button and selector switch masks are used to enable or disable push buttons and selector switches. The masks are simply a semi-transparent rectangle which covers the button (or selector switch assembly). To enable the push button, the mask is "hidden" (using a Javascript call). To disable the push button, the mask is "shown", where it covers the button and prevents it from being activated.

Because the mask is not completely opaque, the push button is still visible beneath it. The overall effect is the same as "greying out" a button.

Mask is hidden (enabling the button). clip-art

Mask is shown (disabling the button). clip-art
