Hello,

Setting the background-color of html form input elements to 'transparent' reset the background-color of the input to system default.

While it is understandable that this property is not handled by the input element for various redering reasons, it behave wrongly in the fact it replace transparent by system default. If a css property is to not be handled by a browser, css specification states it should ignore the property and use the already defined one.


<input type="text" style="color:white;background-color:red;background-color:transparent" name="test" value="test"/>

The above html input tag should be rendered with a transparent background and, if transparent is not supported, be handled with the previously defined background color: red (according to css specifications). However it is rendered with a white background, which is problematic considering the white color :)
