How to change font-color for disabled input?

Question

I need to change the style for a disabled input element in CSS.

Answer 1

The following gets you pretty close in IE8 and works in other browsers too.

In your html:

       onfocus="this.blur();" 
       tabindex="-1"          
       class="disabledInput"  
       />

In your CSS:

.disabledInput {
    color: black;
}

In IE8, there is a slight amount of border color change on hover. Some CSS for input.disabledInput:hover could probably take care of this.
