Styling a disabled input with css only

Question

I have sort of a strange situation. I\'m trying to style a disabled input button because I have an annoying hover turning the text to white. This makes it confusing to the

Answer 1

Use this CSS (jsFiddle example):

input:disabled.btn:hover,
input:disabled.btn:active,
input:disabled.btn:focus {
  color: green
}

You have to write the most outer element on the left and the most inner element on the right.

.btn:hover input:disabled would select any disabled input elements contained in an element with a class btn which is currently hovered by the user.

I would prefer :disabled over [disabled], see this question for a discussion: Should I use CSS :disabled pseudo-class or [disabled] attribute selector or is it a matter of opinion?
