I am not quite sure if browser developers are aware of the ability to change the appearance of form elements with the help of CSS2 declarations.
I especially like and admire the functionality of Internet Explorer for Macintosh and the way it handles CSS specifications in combination with form elements.
IE interprets my CSS2 declarations for manipulating the appearance of form elements very well on my opinion.
I have nearly total control of the appearance of form elements via CSS2 such as:
- Defining exact widths and heights
- Defining exact border widths
- Defining border colors
- Defining padding space
- Defining background color
- Defining text color
- Defining font size
- Defining font family
- Some older versions of Internet Explorer made it even possible to specifiy a 2D or 3D appearance of form elements. (I am no longer able to achieve the same function with the current version of Internet Explorer)
All these CSS2 specifications are VERY useful and make my life much easier as a Web Designer to create and produce challenging web pages which make use of many form elements for the creation and develoment of customer form pages, basket information and even Web Site navigations.
The ability to change the appearance of form elements via CSS2 attributes are very helpful to transform and adapt my graphical user interface to an existing corporate identity.
Microsoft Internet Explorer is currently the one and only browser developer who managed to offer me all these appearance capabilites to change the appearance of form elements. I believe there is currently no other browser application on the market which offers the same consistant appearance behaviour such as Internet Explorer.
I am personally not very happy to have the same "boldy" look and feel of form buttons, dropdown menues, checkboxes, radio buttons and form textfields on EVERY web page I create and having no influence at all.
I would suggest to keep the appearance of form elements under "Safari" as neutral, as scalable, as customizable and as functional as ever possible.
Speed is one thing, the consistant pursuance of browser standards in compliance with the w3c is another thing ...
Thank you very much in advance,
