How to style a button on disabled state using inline CSS only

Question

I have a button and I want to style it when disabled using inline style only.

I know how to style using internal/external style.

Code below:

<input type="submit" value="Submit" disabled="disabled" />

It's not possible, but you can add a <style></style>-block to add the CSS needed if you have control over the surrounding HTML. — Emil

@Emil, I know other ways but this. I wanted to know if it is possible using inline CSS anyhow. — Shashank

Other than by explicitly changing the style with JavaScript (which violates your "inline CSS only" constraint): you can't.

The style attribute only contains the body of a rule-set. It can't do anything that you need a selector for.
