Another quick tip for styling input elements in HTML5.  To style placeholder text, you can use the following CSS: ::-webkit-input-placeholder { color:#282218; } :-moz-placeholder { color:#282218; } That’s it!  I assume that, once it’s supported by more browsers, it will change to input-placeholder or just placeholder.  We’ll have to wait and see on that one.

For some strange reason, Safari likes to hijack the styles of an input with type=”search” in HTML5. It makes them appear all ‘Apple OS’ like. It can be very annoying, and until recently, I thought it was very un-avoidable. Fret not my dear CSS legends! You too can take back control and keep your forms...
