Description Unknown 2001-11-26 23:27:29 UTC 
Somewhere, the CSS for the site is setting 'black' as the foreground text color
for input text fields on forms.  THis is all fine and good, except that Mozilla
0.9.6 is Gtk-based, and my .gtkrc sets #202050 as the background color,
resulting in in black-on-very-dark-blue text.

It should either (a) also set the backgroun d color so things are visible or (b)
not fool with either foreground or background colors..  But setting the
foreground dark and hoping the background is light is a bad idea.

I will attach a .jpg of this page as I entered it to demonstrate the problem.

RedHat Linux 2.4.13, XFree86 4.1.0, Mozilla 0.9.6.

RedHat 7.1, Linux 2.4.13.  I couldn't see the 7.1 was missing due to
the problem....

this is not an issue in succeeding releases of SC. the css used in previous versions of 
sc 
does indeed have issues.

so:

a. wait for openoffice to be upgraded
b. write personal stylesheet (or edit mozilla's), setting fore- and 
background colors as desired.
c. edit current openoffice.org css: 
<http://www.openoffice.org/branding/style.css>, eliminating "input" from 
the selector of the 3rd rule.

I can edit the current sytle sheet to eliminate "input" from the slector of the 3rd rule.
We will be upgrading in a a couple of months, I'd expect.
