textfield style 1

Can I make the bg of a textfield either completely transparent or just not there at all?

Code:

<input type="text" name="t" style="background-color: transparent;" />

It takes the background color of the body, not of its parent element.

Not so - take the following example:

Code:

<html>
<body style="background-color: green;">
	<form>
		<div style="background-color: red;">
			<input type="text" name="t" style="background-color: transparent;" />
		</div>
	</form>
</body>
</html>

The input box background is red, not green. It may well be that if the parent element has no bgcolor specified, it will use the bgcolor of the nearest parent that does have one - which will normally be the body.

Hope this helps,
Dan
