Created attachment 46521 [details] Demonstration of search input Many input elements relinquish their built-in style when a border or background is specified through CSS. Search inputs are an exception: they retain their default styling unless -webkit-appearance: textfield is explicitly set.
Confirmed in nightly built r57112. I'm unable to style borders and background of input style="search" elements.
The implication of this bug is that I can't use the HTML5 input type="search" element as long as this isn't fixed. That's serious, and I'd appreciate if somebody could adopt and fix the error (it's also in current versions of Chrome, BTW).
This bug still exists and remains unacknowledged.
Confirming this behavior exists as of Chrome 11.0.696.68 and Safari 5.0.3 as of the date I'm posting this comment.
Still an issue with Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.17 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/24.0.1312.56 Safari/537.17.
