Disable inputs during ajax call without fade
===

I have lots of inputs that call Ajax when clicked.  Each as a JavaScript function assigned.  These inputs need to be disabled when Ajax is executing.  This is what I have so far:



      $("html").bind("ajaxStart", function(){
        $("input").attr("disabled", "disabled");
         $(this).addClass('busy');
      }).bind("ajaxStop", function(){
         $(this).removeClass('busy');
         $("input").removeAttr("disabled");
      });

The only problem is that the inputs turn grey.  How can I avoid this without too much hassle?
