Hi,

you can do with CSS class like,

XML

<style type="text/css">
.textbox { background-color:#00BFFF; }
</style>

<input type="text" class="textbox" id="your_id" title="YourTitle" />

Hope this way will help you,

Thanks

Can't I do this as the following

<pre>
<style type="text/css"
input [type="text] {background-color: red}

</pre>

<body>

Address: <input type="text" />

</body>

input[type="text"]
{
background-color:yellow;
}

you missed quotation mark after type="text(" is missing)
