How to change font-color for disabled input?

Question

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

Answer 1

This works for making disabled select options act as headers. It doesnt remove the default text shadow of the :disabled option but it does remove the hover effect. In IE you wont get the font color but at least the text-shadow is gone. Here is the html and css:

select option.disabled:disabled{color: #5C3333;background-color: #fff;font-weight: bold;}
select option.disabled:hover{color:  #5C3333 !important;background-color: #fff;}
select option:hover{color: #fde8c4;background-color: #5C3333;}

     Header1
     Item1
     Item1
     Item1
     Header2
     Item2
     Item2
     Item2
     Header3
     Item3
     Item3
     Item3
