Emulation form elements with CSS.
I forgot the 'overflow' property in this matter:
THIS could work in some XML-language:
xml:textare
{display:inline-table;height:60px;width:300px;overflow:auto;border:2p inset
#603} /* display:inline-table emulate presumable better the behavior of
'select ' than some other value */
In principle overflow + borders could emulate the INPUT or TEXTAREA elements.
ALL except radio button could be emulated with CSS in XML.
CSS3 needs ONLY one property, border-shape to render all elements like HTML.
Possible values are 'rectangle' and 'circle', border-shape:rectangle or
border-shape:circle (to emulate radio buttons).
I regard that this is a missing property because the intention is - unlike
CSS1 - to be full layout language.
Could this be added?
