Put CSS background-color value back to default

[FesterSXS]

In my CSS I have an entry like this to set the background-color of all INPUT elements.

input          {font-size: 11px; background-color: #CEE3E6;}

However, I wish to have one single INPUT element (a button) to have the default background color. How do I return it to the default?

input.register {background-color: [COLOR=red]something here?[/color]}

how do you mean default colour ?

If you mean the page background just use

 background-color:transparent;

Transparent will most likely make it the background color of the element behind it.

If that doesn't work, you might want to try:

input.register {background-color: '';}

Thanks Chris but I meant the default button color for a webpage. I think it gets this from the desktop color settings. Like the Preview Post/Submit Post buttons on this site all use the default button colors.

clFlava,
Thanks - I have tried the following with no success...

input.register {background-color: '';}

and also...

input.register {background-color: default;}

Then my next suggestion is this:

input {}
input.special {font-size: 11px; background-color: #CEE3E6;}

And give all your other ones the class "special".

I'm hoping to not have to resort to that as there are loads of Input elements within my site and it's only this one that needs a different background. I dont really want to introduce any different colors into the site either. I guess I may have to.
