Hello,

How can I convert all those ugly textfields into nicelooking textfields with
rounded edges? (Like the buttons in IE7)

I searched the internet for solutions first, but all the come up with are
div's, textmarkup.

I need to use it for my form elements. (input type=text, etc)

Thanks,
Simon

One way of the other you will have to use a solution,
as the basic input field is just what it tis.

I think you want them, need is something else.

Please try this CSS example:

Evertjan,

Your example lays text over an image, which looks nice, UNLESS the text is
not the size youe expect. Since the user can increase the text size
(without altering the image in IE and FF), large text will overflow the
image.

So I think we're back to the short answer: you can't. If this is a
widespread 'need', the place to do it would be in CSS version x.

Keep in mind that this won't work in Safari. Safari, as far as I can
remember, does not allow you to re-style buttons, text fields, etc.

You can't. (Well some background-image workarounds are available, but
will break rather sooner than later.)
