Setting the background color style on a xul:textbox either directly on the XUL
or via javascript, does not work

Attachment: an example of the background-color style not working

Comment 2

[Russ Tyndall]

OK, Border styling also doesnt work.  Neither does using a class instead of
styles.

I see red; that's what I'm supposed to see, right?  works for me with build
2004-12-22-04.  What build are you using, by the way?

desired: A textbox whose background color is red
actual: a plain vanilla textbox

doesn't work.

Nathan; if you try the latest Seamonkey build (either [   ]
mozilla-win32-installer.exe or mozilla-win32-stub-installer.exe available from
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mozilla/nightly/latest/), does this then
work for you?  If so, there's something odd about Firefox (but I doubt it).

The Firefox nightly you point to; is that trunk or Aviary branch?  A new build
(post 1.0) of Firefox should also work, I suspect.

Attachment: Same as above without spurious javascript

This is the same as the other attachment without trying to call non-existant
javascript in the onload function. Still shows the main bug though.

I'm still getting plane white. No red background. This is with the latest
seamonkey nightly.

You need to set -moz-appearance:none to be able to get non-system-appearance
styling for widgets.

Marking invalid, but please reopen if the problem is still ther with
-moz-appearance:none.
