How to change color of read only dropdownlist on ie9

Hi Ankri,

usually the internet explorer will not allow to change the color property in the disabled control.

In Internet Explorer 9, support will be added for the :disabled pseudo-selector (ref). I don't know whether that will honor the "color" property, but it seems likely.

In older versions of IE, you can adjust the background color (but not the color). Thus:

That works in IE 7 and IE 8. You still can't alter the foreground color, but you can change the background color to contrast more strongly with the gray that IE assigns it when it's disabled.
