Version: 3.2.3 (using KDE 3.2.3, Gentoo) Compiler: gcc version 3.3.3 20040412 (Gentoo Linux 3.3.3-r6, ssp-3.3.2-2, pie-8.7.6) OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.7 that may sounds weird, but OS settings should not apply over CSS settings. my css-guru friend told me affecting the css border setting would be enough. I guess if we ask for a flat button, we should not see the 3D design our style may have. i dont know if its possible to ignore the style for one single object and apply something else ?
Did your CSS guru tell you that support for CSS on form widgets is optional, and that it is recommended that webmasters don't use it?
And did he add that <button> was invented just for that purpose?
well, i think flat button with colored border are really common nothing fancy here
<button> would indeed ideally be used for the purpose. However, there are a couple of practical considerations. First, IE treats all <button type="submit"> buttons as successful. That is, it submits ALL their data, not just data for the one that was activated. IE still dominates the Web, so this type of control is useful only if you can greatly restrict your audience. Second, IE *and* the browser that is most rapidly nibbling into its market share (Firefox) both allow almost complete style control on submit buttons. This may not be required by the standard, but it's allowed, and KHTML looks inferior by comparison to those who don't know the spec. Is there a compelling reason not to allow submits to be styled?
I agree that if Firefox can, so should we.
Firefox can't use fully native widgets
I think it's a good idea to use native widgets as a default, but I find it very useful to be able to style form controls. Perhaps Konqueror could use a native widgets in the absence of any style for the element. Konqueror currently respects the CSS color property (and maybe others), but not background-color. This can easily lead to illegible labels. At a minimum, Konqueror should be changed to respect both color and background-color or ignore both. It would probably be best if style support for a given instance of a widget were Boolean: either all style properties are supported, or none are.
IMO, implementing this would open a wormcan of phishing issues.
How could it be used for phishing? it is just a button. At least we could set background-color
Isn't that trivial to implement now that Qt4 has css-alike-stylable controls?
ping, shall we close?
no longer relevant KDE 3? come on
