Hi
I want to change the color of the input buttons in my site..now I know that I can use CSS but thing is that if I use CSS to change the appearence of the input tag elements the input field change their color too. I do not want that to happen below is my CSS script.

body {font-family:verdana;font-size:9pt;}
td {font-family:verdana;font-size:9pt;}
a:hover {text-decoration:none;color:#FFB903;}
.border {border:1px solid black;}
input {border:1px solid black;font-size:8pt;}
select{border:1px solid black;font-size:8pt;}
submit {border:1px solid black;background:#CC6633;font-size:8pt;}

Now as you can see the background of the submit is #CC6633..but it is still appearing in typical gray..Furthermore if I change the background color of input tag the color of the button gets changed but so does the color of the input fields

There is no tag called submit so your CSS is not referencing anything.

There are 2 ways around this, either use classes and define them for each element - ie:
<input class="button" type="button">
input.button:#CC6633

Or change the tag to button and define that in your CSS:
