textbox formatting

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:

If I want all the text boxes and selects on my form to appear with a solid border and a specific height, why doesn’t this work, and what WOULD work.

text, select
{ font-size:9pt;
border:solid 1px;
}

Is there a list somewhere of all the elements that CSS affects?

@pyroSep 05.2003 — CSS can affect any element on the page...

<style type="text/css">
textarea, select, .textbox {
font-size: 9pt; /*you really shoudn't use pt fonts...*/
border: 1px solid;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<form action="" method="post">
<p>
<select>
<option value="test">test</option>
</select>
<textarea rows="5" cols="50"></textarea>
<input type="text" class="textbox">
</p>
</form>

border: #000000 solid 1px;
}
[/code]
Let me know if it works for you. Here's the screenshot...
