> Anyone have any insight on why the specs don't provide such a capability?
Insight? No. But, to me common sense dictates that if you don't want an item styled, then you don't style it to begin with. Now in this case someone is asking for a "default" style, however my gut reaction is that they don't truly comprehend that "default" varies based on browser and user settings (as Jukka pointed out). My "guess" is that if you styled a button based on the "default" style OF THEIR BROWSER they would be satisfied. I find it hard to believe that one user/manager/whomever would actually test the button on multiple browsers and platforms in a side-to-side comparison with an <input type="button" /> that is in a bare XHTML page. ...Rob ________________________________________ Rob Emenecker @ Hairy Dog Digital www.hairydogdigital.com ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
