Hi Taco,
The answer as ever is yes and no. Yes in mozilla et al and no in IE.
The "attribute" selector is used as follows:
input[type="submit"]{ your css attributes here....}
The only way to do it reliable is the way you are proposing - unless you
can refer to it another way - i.e. does it sit in another div that is
referencable?

Is there some way that you can only target input elements with type SUBMIT?
Example;
<style>
form input
{
background-color: #FFCFCE;
border: 1px solid black;
font-weight: bold;
color: white;
width: 160px;
background-image: url(../image/buttonSubmit_background03.gif);
cursor: hand;
background-repeat: repeat-x;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<form>
<input type="submit" value="test"><br/>
<input type="text" name="blah">
</form>
This would apply the style over all INPUT elements, but I was wondering if
it could be just applied to the input elements that have type SUBMIT or
BUTTON?
I realize I could do it the following way, but thats not what I am after.
<style>
form input .submit
{
background-color: #FFCFCE;
border: 1px solid black;
font-weight: bold;
color: white;
width: 160px;
background-image: url(../image/buttonSubmit_background03.gif);
cursor: hand;
background-repeat: repeat-x;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<form>
<input type="submit" value="test" class="submit"><br/>
<input type="text" name="blah">
</form>
