If all browsers supported attribute selectors, we could easily do the following:
input[type='text'] { font:bold 0.8em 'courier new',courier,monospace; }
input[type='radio'] { margin:0 20px; }
input[type='checkbox'] { border:2px solid red;
But I don't think all IE versions of ^ and greater support this.
I think I'd like to avoid skins. Not sure why, other than I tried them and I recall having a negative experience. It was probably my lack of knowledge. Are there any issues in using and CSS, external or otherwise?
What's the best way to handle this? Currently I am assigning separate classes to each control type.
