Question

Firefox

IE

and here are the look on Chrome & Safari, it has strange border around the input element

Chrome

Safari

Here is my html & css code

<input type="search" id="generic_search" onkeypress="return runScript(event)" />
<input type="button" id="generic_search_button" />

the border:0 has been applied to all elements

#generic_search
{
    font-size: 14px;
    width: 250px;
    height: 25px;
    float: left;
    padding-left: 5px;
    padding-right: 5px;
    margin-top: 7px;
}
#generic_search_button
{
    float: left;
    width: 25px;
    height: 25px;
    margin-top: 7px;
    cursor: pointer;
    background-color: White;
    background-image: url(/Images/search.png);
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    background-position: center center;
}

How to remove that border?

Answer 1

border: 0 should be enough, but if it isn’t, perhaps the button’s browser-default styling in interfering. Have you tried setting appearance to none (e.g. -webkit-appearance: none)
