I agree - you could also create a DOM script that would look for a tag of "input" with an attribute type="submit" and then add a class to it i.e. class="submit"

There was a thread on this a while back I think - you are looking for input submit {} input checkbox {} ? That kind of stuff.... From memory it was decided no you can't but one thing you can do is this... (been experimenting with it) <label class="checkbox" for=""..." > <input type="checkbox" ... > </label> <label class="radio" for="..."> <input type="checkbox" ... > </label> <label class="submit" for=".."> <input type="submit" ... > </label> <label class="reset" for=".."> <input type="reset" ... > </label> <label class="file" for="..."> <input type="file" ... > </label> and so forth... it moves the class to the label so you can do .submit input { } on the plus side it forces the use of labels which are always good I'm finding.
