Question

Morning everyone,

I’ve been developing and maintaining a Cocoa app which contains a WebView section. It’s built against the 10.5 SDK to maintain PPC compatibility. With the most recent Safari update (came with the 10.7.4 update) all of the HTML input fields now have a black background. For example, this HTML shows up like this…

Username: <input type="text" name="username" id="something" placeholder="something"/></br> 
Password: <input type="password" name="password" id="somethingelse" placeholder="somethingelse"/>

I’ve played around with the “background-color” style and also played with a couple of the webkit styles I found here without much luck. The odd thing is that this page displays normally through Safari, just not though a Cocoa WebView. Does anyone have any suggestions on things to try?

All. As temporary workaround, please style your textbox with a border. This is working for me: border: 1px solid #000000;
