Is this something that anybody actually wants? The form elements are standard in your browser, any user knows immediately what they are. Is theming them a good thing, or just a way to make your web(site|app) "different" than everyone else?
- liuliu 16y agoHere is my problem with web browser's default form element: inconsistent in their size. For every browser, the default size of form elements varies a few pixels, and that causes the difference in subsequent layout etc. I guess that is the main reason why you don't normally see much default form elements in popular web applications.
