I like styling my textboxes as follows:

<INPUT TYPE="text" STYLE="border: 1px solid #000080">

As you know, this makes the texbox look like just a box on the page with a border--no inset, no bevel, just the border.

Problem is, on my site, textboxes often have to go right beside a dropdown list. So far, I haven't been able to get the dropdowns to match the style of the textbox. Does anyone know how to do this? Looks goofy to have a "flat" textox beside an "inset" dropdown list.

Thanks,

Matthew

So, do you want your textbox inset or your drop-down flat? (I don't know the answer yet, just curious myself)

I want my dropdowns, textboxes, and textareas to be flat.

You can use layers instead of drop-down - this way you can achieve a flat effect from the design standpoint.

You can edit the style of this code to look more like what you want.

As of right now, it only works for IE, but I remember using it once before and editting it to work for NS as well.
