154894 - CSS background-color not working in TEXTAREA form item

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 161261

(Camino Graveyard :: Page Layout, defect)

Description

[Tim Rodriguez]

The HTML form item "TEXTAREA" is not receiving the CSS1 "background-color"
attribute.  

In example, textarea field should have black background with grey text. 
Instead, it defaults to the white background.

This is probably WONTFIX because Chimera uses native Aqua widgets, which are not
stylable.

It's a duplicate of http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=153283#c4
and http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=153699
Boris confirmed too, no style for form items in CSS2, it's in CSS3.

Stephane, both of those bugs are too general for this to be a duplicate of either.

Comment 4

[Tim Rodriguez]

So noted. Thanks for the info.

[Nick Melnick]

The one issue with this is that someone can apply white text to that text area,
rendering the whole field quite useless.  If this bug won't be fixed, can you
kludge a font color override?

I'm confused. I understand that Chimera uses Aqua widgets, but the textarea /
text field elements do not use Aqua elements; they're just text areas.

Also, by ignoring this Chimera breaks standards-compliance; as I mentioned in my
dup (didn't find  this bug when searching), Mozilla and IE both get this right.

ALSO, Chimera DOES support the background-color attribute in textfields, so I
don't understand why this is a WONTFIX. I would hope Chimera would at least be
consistent with rendering problems.

Attachment: demonstrates serious result

This example demonstrates a severe flaw resulting from they lack of
compatability with a css background-color. When white text is used over a white
background the content can not be viewed, making the form object difficult to
impossible to use.

Actually, perhaps this should be a duplicate of bug 161261.

Reopening to resolve as dup.
