since it's not an element but an attribute, how do I write a style for all textfields that are in a listitem in an unordered list?

ul li input ?? {

}

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

1. input[type="text"] {

works in most browsers. Unfortunately not in IE6 though, so you'd have to use classes to make it work in all browsers.

thanks, that approach makes perfect sense. But I suppose that's why it doesn't work in IE7, either.

Oh, how much better the world of software would have been if Bill Gates had never been born.

Attribute selectors do work in IE7, but not with complete support. You may need to use a strict doctype to get it to begin behaving anything like you'd want it to.
