Hi Brian - The best way to get help is to post a URL that way we can
see the problem in context. i.e. How this relates to the markup and to
other rules that may be in play. The first thing I normally do is
validate the HTML and CSS to make sure that this isn't causing the
browser to barf.
From looking at your snippet, you may want to try the more specific
'background-color'. Your 'background' may be being over-ridden by
'background-color' in another declaration.
Also, have a look at http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=FormElements
for some information about what can and can't be done reliably with
form elements.
