CSS3 for web forms


CSS3 brings us infinite new possibilities and allows styling to make better web forms. CSS3 gives us a number of new ways to create an impact with our form designs, with quite a few important changes.

Using CSS3, we can turn an old and boring form into a modern, cool, and eye catching one.

CSS3 is completely backwards compatible, so we will not have to change the existing form designs. Browsers have and will always support CSS2.

  • Selectors (with pseudo-selectors)

  • Backgrounds and Borders
