CSS form background color effect on WinXP and MacOS

Calling CSS gurus!

I would like to find out if using CSS to control form background colors would change the default OS form element in WinXP and macOS Aqua

for example:

<form>

<input type="button" value="Say Hi to Joe for me!" style="background: #f00; color:white;" />

</form>

Would the above style change the nice looking WinXP default form buttons into ugly Win98 'classic' buttons?

what effect does it have on MacOS?

Thanks for help

<form>

<input type="button" value="Say Hi to Joe for me!" style="background-color: aqua; color:white;" />

</form>

thares tha code all done for you....

hope that helped.

also, as it is css, it will display exactly the same... unless they have on older browser which will display the normall button....

Thanks sciguyryan , I personally dont own a mac, and my friends who have one are pre MacOS 9.

Back to topic ...

so its like the aqua interface nice-shiny-blue-translucent button will become nice-shiny-colorYouSpecified-translucent button?

if its the latest browser that supports the aqua GUI that is.

Thanks again!

well, as far as I know no, the buttons and scrollbars etc would not change. To do that you would, like you code shows, have to adjust the buttons themselves. And once that is done then yes, in xp the button will lose it's default look, and become a rectangle with the color aqua for a background. So yes, it will lose it's xp theme style and look like win9x/2k buttons look.

Thanks IBM for info, appreciate it, I ... I like your name ...

did the code i gave you work?

Yes it did sciguyryan, thanks!

but i did not have problem with the css code, my query was more towards the effect that the CSS has on winXP and MacOS with Aqua interface.

FYI style="background: red" is short form, will also work
