Need a quick answer

Long story short, doing a site for a school project, and I have the content done, just sorta working on the style, so here's the question:

When working with forms, and using text for the input type, how do you set the background of the text box itself?

You want a background like a wallpaper on your text box?

[Cook_1]

No, just a color, have two shades of blue for the entire form, want like a light gray or maybe even a light yellow for the text box so it stands out a little, but doesn't take away from the rest of the page.

<FORM>
<INPUT type="text" STYLE="color: #FFFFFF; font-family: Verdana; font-weight: bold; font-size: 12px; background-color: #72A4D2;" size="10" maxlength="30">
</FORM>

would that do you?

edit: try this site. It has alot of information that may help you.

Would I have to put all that text in just to change the text box color? I know I've done it before, but I forgot the command. Not using any style sheets what so ever is the thing. Have to do a 5 pager hand coding it all.

Or maybe, would just style= "color #000000" work in the input tag work?

STYLE= "background-color #000000"

is what I was looking for, thanks
