I am styling the underline of a link (<a href...>) via the pseudo class :before, to get a nice transition effect when hovering.
Now I want to exclude some links, if the have a certain class (for example: <a href="#" class="btn">Button</a>).



a:not(.btn) is working, but if I try to use a::before:not(.btn), the effect doesn't work anymore.



See this JSFiddle:



Working without :not, but the button should not have the effect: https://jsfiddle.net/bzo0nqey/1/



Broken with :not: https://jsfiddle.net/bzo0nqey/



I don't want to use <button> or some other element instead of <a>, because this would cost me hours of editing. Moreover, <a><img></a> is also having this effect falsely: https://jsfiddle.net/7v9u260j/
