I'm working in IE6 and looking to modify the properties of a certain type of input box without modifying all types of input boxes. Specifically, I want all text inputs to have a 1px solid black border but all other inputs to have their default border. I have no access to modify the HTML in the body, only the CSS in the document head. I've tried both "input:text" and "input.text" to no avail. Any way I can do this with changing all input boxes?
Thanks,

If you can't modify the HTML that's hard to do. If you do this:
input {
border: solid 1px black;
}
That will also style submit buttons, which I gather you don't want to do. I'm guessing because I can't see the code you're describing (do you have a link), but perhaps you can try nesting the CSS like so:
#header #login input {
border: solid 1px black;
}
The best way to do it would be to add a class to the input boxes that you want to style:
input.black-border {
border: solid 1px black;
}
If this doesn't help, perhaps a link to the code would clarify your problem. -

What it sounds like you'd like to do is something like this:input[@type="text"] { border:1px solid black; }
But I know it won't work in IE6 and I'm too lazy to actually check IE7 right now. ;)
