formatting form elements

[droid]

Here's a dumb question... Is it possible to format form elements such as text values and textarea values?

[Jason]

Sure, it's done with CSS. I'm moving this topic over to Cross Platform Layout. I don't have any examples on hand, hopefully someone will provide some, otherwise I'll dig them up a little later for you.

I'm not sure what you mean by format....do you mean use a different font face/color etc, for text that is entered in form fields? If so, like Jason said, style sheets or inline style tags will do the trick.

here are some examples of the inline styles at work on form elements.

Thanks for the examples! Exactly the answer I was hoping for.
FYI - the formatting did not apply when I first opened the file in Netscape.

Thanks again

yes, the support for inline style sheets is low in netscape 4.7, and better...but not perfect in netscape6. If you open the page I provided in IE5.0, netscape 4.7, and finally Netscape6 .... your going to see three different things.
