by the way, if you're going to set the font colour of the input boxes (I'm talking about the site now), can you set the background colour too. please?

css/main.css sets the default background colour. Everything inherits from that.
2004-09-14 25841, 2004

I think your browser may be broken.

CSS allows you to, well, cascade settings from one part of the document to another.
2004-09-14 25833, 2004
djce
which is what MB does.
2004-09-14 25841, 2004
djce
the document is set to a white background.
2004-09-14 25844, 2004
cikkolata
what browser do you use then?
2004-09-14 25802, 2004
djce
which then cascades down to all text and all form fields, and indeed everything else.
2004-09-14 25803, 2004
djce
Mozilla.

Now each browser has certain built-in default style sheets, and the document's own style sheets are overlaid onto them.
2004-09-14 25820, 2004
djce
But if the built-in style sheets contain unhelpful rules such as, say, "form fields have a green background"
2004-09-14 25835, 2004
djce
then how is a page author meant to guess that that needs to be overridden?
2004-09-14 25837, 2004

:-(
2004-09-14 25847, 2004

Anyway no problems in Mozilla,
2004-09-14 25857, 2004

Does Firefox supply the "inspect this object" option on the right-click menu?
2004-09-14 25835, 2004
djce
Or the "DOM Inspector" in general?
2004-09-14 25849, 2004
cikkolata
not that I can see
2004-09-14 25853, 2004

ok, never mind.

what version of firefox, on what platform?

it got the font colour right for the search boxes (but not the background colour), but for the quick search, it got the background colour right but not the font colour.
