Yeah they can.edesignuk said:AFAIK form elements cannot be controlled via css in Firefox, or Safari for that matter.
Other than an <input> text field there's no custom faced buttons or any other custom fields that I can see there2GMario said:

Button faces don't change in either Firefox or Safari, and in safari the input field backgrounds aren't even what is set (which does work in Firefox).bertagert said:Go here

Scroll down to see some examples, then click on the link on the bottom to see more examples (Part IV, V, etc.). This should help you out.
Ok, I don't want to spend too much time on this but let me help you out as much as I can. If you are looking to do web site design with CSS you should really get a book. It will be a great reference when coding. With that said, you also need to do a lot of research on how CSS works with each browser. If you look at the examples I just linked to, you'll see that some of it works in NN/Firefox, some work in IE, some in both. As for Safari, you'll have to do some research to find out more. Personally, I don't code for safari. I go Firefox -> IE. That way everyone can see what I want them to see.edesignuk said:Button faces don't change in either Firefox or Safari, and in safari the input field backgrounds aren't even what is set (which does work in Firefox).
I don't remember saying I wanted to learn CSS, I am just querying how much Firefox (and Safari) form fields can be changed by CSS as I can't recall ever seeing a button face, for example, looking anything other than standard.bertagert said:Ok, I don't want to spend too much time on this but let me help you out as much as I can.

Also you have <button>'s, not strictly form fields, a form button should be <input type="button">, not sure what difference this would make.2GMario said:http://www.coredatasolutions.net/includes/buttontest.php
apparently, and i have tested this, the G5 optimized version of firefox must have that pretty button thing compiled into it
the css
.TestButton {
border-left: 1px dotted #575757;
border-width: thick;
background-color: #f47272;
color: #575757 font: 14px Lucida Grande, Helvetica, sans-serif;
}
