Input Field styles and Netscape

I am applying the following custom class to form elements:

this is the style,
.borders { border: 1px #FF9933 solid; background-color: E9ECF2}

this is the html,
<input type=&quot;text&quot; name=&quot;blah&quot; class=&quot;borders&quot;>

Works fine in IE, but in NS the input fields arent formatted, there is a little square under the text fields, and textarea's with the class applied just dissapear completely!

Anyone know a work-around for this?

ps. While we're here, can someone tell me why NS is so painful! It's a web developers worst nightmare...

It seems that NetScape does not read style attributes for form elements, I see what you mean.Infuriating isn't it. I'm sorry I can't help, someone else will though, but I know where you're coming from! You're not alone.

Well, my only hope is to only set the styles if the browser info is IE!

But I don't believe that this client deserves such a thing, they're not paying me enough...

But those formatted fields look so niiiiice :( Miles Tillinger

That's the way! Really if people want to use &quot;the other browser&quot; it is their own fault, and they are probably not going to care that there are some things missing. (They haven't noticed their lobotomy so far) Cheap shot, I apologise!

By the looks of things N&quot;the other browser&quot; does not read background color in table cells very well either, this is getting on my nerves, let's hope they get their act together, or perhaps we could ask uncle Bill to buy them out, and put them out of their misery?

By the way, what are you going to do, you are going to keep the formatting for IE right? be a shame not to. If I can help let me know
