Flat text input boxes?
I have a question: you know how on some websites they have the "flat" text input boxes? You know, they don't look like they're "3D," but rather flat, and just lay on the page? Well I was wondering how you do that...

Do you have a URL with an example? Flash does form boxes like that, but I've never heard of a way to do it with regular HTML.

No, I just saw a site but I can't remember what the address was. If I knew I would have looked at the source...

You can see an example of this at www.phong.com in the discussion forums.
It is not very hard to do, it is just a CSS attribute. I don't think it works in Netscape but I may be wrong.
<style type="text/css">
INPUT {
border:1px solid black;
}
</style>

There also an example on www.aspin.com in
the upper right corner. Only IE though.

Hi,
If I remember right:
IE 1 = flat; 0 = 3D
NN yes = flat; no = 3D
Then again, could be other way around.
