Textboxes inheriting styles 1

[jimmyshoes]

Why is it that textboxes do not seem to inherit styles
For example the following does not work

<form action="act.cfm"><div style="font-size:24px"><input type="text" value="Value" /></div></form>

The style must be added to the textbox itself

<form action="act.cfm"><div><input type="text" value="Value" style="font-size:24px"/></div></form>

All form controls are rendered by the OS on the client's computer, so they follow a different set of rules than all other elements. Some (OSes) do not allow any styling and others can have everything styled.

As OS controls, they need to have the styling specified separately. Sorry.
