set color and bgcolor of form elements

[jitseschaafsma]

Couls someone show me a sample code with which i set the font color and background color of a form element (type text) that is correctly rendered by safari.
All my experiments with class and font tag work with explorer and mozilla but not in Safari.

Thanks

Try this:<input type="text" value="foo" style="background-color: #000; color: #fff;" />If that doesn't work I'd be surprised. That's simple CSS1.

this is what i used
<input type="text" name="v1" style="background-color: #FFFF66; color: #ffff66;" value="Menso">


Form element is just black on white background.
Please help me out
Thanks

I tried this, and it works fine for me.


<input type="text" name="v1" style="background-
color:#000;color:#F00;border:2px groove #F00;"
value="Menso">


That gives it red text, black background, and a red, 2 pixel grooved border.

What I do is use dreamweaver and create a new class like this in my .CSS

.prettyform {
font-family: "Arial Rounded MT Bold", "Arial Black", Arial;
font-size: 12px;
color: #FFFFFF;
background-color: #0000CC;
border: thin solid #0099FF;
}

Then I clicked inside the text boxes (on Design View) and applied the class.

This give a pale grey interior with a thin blue border if I remember right. I have also made dark black interiors with white text that is fun to do but not accessible so not good for a live website. You can also make a custom class style for the Sumbit button. (or use an image)
