Bug 10800 – Styling HTML button

• Status: VERIFIED
• Resolution: WORKSFORME
• Component: CSS

[Gérard Talbot (no longer involved)]

Dynamically styling HTML buttons is not possible, achievable for the following CSS properties:
- font-size
- padding
- font-weight
- background-color
- color (text color)

(... and possibly other CSS properties - color or text-related ones - may not work for HTML buttons).

Steps to reproduce
------------------
1- Load provided URL
2- set font-size or any of the top-first 5 CSS properties

Expected results
----------------
Visual feedback should concur with selected properties

Notes
-----
- I can create 5 custom, minimal, reduced testcases (1 testcase for each listed CSS properties)
- In april 2006, the bug was noticeable when using Safari 2.02 (416.13). With Swift 0.1, I can not see/verify/be sure if/how these properties are being handled for HTML buttons.
- I was not sure if CSS is the correct component. As far as I can see, it could be filed under Forms or HTML DOM.
- I searched for a duplicate and could not find any.

This code works just fine in the latest Safari builds.  Is this bug only in Swift?

Unfortunately, I do not have access to a Mac/Safari at all. I would need to go to an Internet Cafe to have a chance to use a Mac and even there, I'd probably have to do a lot of talking to install the latest nightly build. I'm sorry, I can't say when/if this has been fixed in latest build. I can certify that the webpage at provided URL was not working for the 5 listed/mentioned CSS properties for Safari 2.02 (416.13).

The good news is that you say it works... and that's fine with/good enough for me. 

Resolving as WORKSFORME

One of the biggest changes we've made since Safari 2.0.2 is rewriting every form control to use the engine (so that they can be styled).
