Styling form elements is both a good and a bad idea. In general, it's better to leave them to their default styles because users are used to this look. If they really stick out like sore thumbs in your design, you can try but remember to style them so that they look close to the original, and the focus state so that it is easily noticeable.
Some background on styling form elements is available at Roger Johansson's blog: http://www.456bereastreet.com/archive/200409/styling_form_controls/ http://www.456bereastreet.com/archive/200410/styling_even_more_form_controls/ The default style use borders and border-radius.Since input elements cannot have any other element inside, you're left with only background images. If you do, beware of the background scrolling but in IE, I think you need to use "background-position: right center;" otherwise if you type more text than fits the box the background image will scroll out of sight. Hope that helps. -- Goulven Champenois --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Blueprint CSS" group.
