Nice browser widgets AND background color, posssible?

I'd like to slightly change the look of some browser widgets (like changing the background color of required fields).

This is especially bad if you have both unmodified and modified widgets on the same page. Problem occurs ...

Firefox thinks <fieldset> is a form element; Chrome doesn't.

I tried getting rid of the fieldset and adjusting the numbers, and it worked, but I liked the fieldset! Also, I can't just m...

Chrome (7.0.517.41 beta) (sometimes?) resets a textarea's scroll bar (scrollTop) when you call focus. Does anyone know if this behavior is deliberate, a known bug, or neither? It seems quite unintuitive; Firefox keeps it the same. A simple example is below: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHT...
