title: Override a:hover style to be the same as normal style?
body: <p>I have a link with:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>a - background-color: red;</li>
  <li>a:hover - background-color: green;</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>I'm now creating a new global class 'disabled' to apply here and in other links (with other background colors) that does this:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>a.disabled - opacity: 0.7; (so in the initial example it shows background red with opacity 0.7)</li>
  <li>a.disabled:hover - same as a.disabled; (initial example should show background <em>red</em> with opacity 0.7)</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Basically the disabled class also disables the 'hover' effect of changing the background color.</p>
  
  <p>I'm having a hard time trying to figure out a solution for this that works as a global class (obviously if I set a.disabled:hover background-color: red it works).</p>
  
  <p><div class="snippet" data-lang="js" data-hide="false" data-console="true" data-babel="false">
  <div class="snippet-code">
  <pre class="snippet-code-css lang-css prettyprint-override"><code>a {
    display: inline-block;
    width: 300px;
    height: 100px;
    background-color: red;
    border: 1px solid gray;
  }
  
  a:hover {
    background-color: green;
  }
  
  .disabled {
    opacity: 0.7;
  }
  
  .disabled:hover {
    opacity: 0.7;
    background-color: initial;
  }</code></pre>
  <pre class="snippet-code-html lang-html prettyprint-override"><code>&lt;a href="#"&gt;click me&lt;/a&gt;
  &lt;a href="#" class="disabled"&gt;disabled me&lt;/a&gt;</code></pre>
  </div>
  </div>
  </p>
  
  <p>Main problem is here:</p>
  
  <pre><code>.disabled:hover {
    opacity: 0.7;
    background-color: initial;
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>As I can't figure out a value to put on the background-color that basically just 'nulls' the background-color: green instruction.</p>
  
  <p>Again: I know setting it to 'red' works. But I have other links with blue and yellow background-colors and in that case it won't work. </p>
  
  <p>Is there any clever, global way to achieve this or I just have to create different .disabled classes for my 'blue, red and yellow' links?</p>
