There is no need to style the forms strongly but you can try to
explicitly coax the style to be more uniform by applying CSS
intelligently.
BTW: Buttons should be buttons and not an obscure graphic acting as a
link or calling JavaScript.

Now fire up Safari and Camino side-by-side, and notice how both browsers

Firefox renders pretty close on both systems, but you may find more
differences between other browsers. A browser testing grid is helpful
but not as helpful as few instances of XP with different browsers
running in virtualisation.
But don't get a mac just for testing sites on a mac, that

I don't think anyone's made this point yet -- one key difference between

Several points here.
The form elements come from the browser, not the API. fire up safari

the mac).
