Form Fields

Controlling the appearances of input and textarea.

Good morning everyone! As I continue my journey into CSS, one of the areas that I've not delved into is the appearance of form fields.

Sure, I know I can add borders, background colors and the like. But, how the heck can I get those form fields to look consistent with NN4.x users? You are probably going to tell me that I can't! If that is the case, what options do I have outside of browser sniffing and serving up a different form for NN4.x users?

What are some of you doing to control input and textarea elements?

You're right, you can't. At least not so as you'd notice.

You're probably best off leaving nn4 users with the default and ensuring this with an @import of your form styles.

Good luck!

Thanks Nick, already on top of this one...

After discovering the @import from a tedster/papabaer post, I sort of took NN4.x off of my hit list.

Yes, nn4 can't handle the @import so, like your form stuff, anything you don't want the naughty little fella to see goes in there ;)
