If you are reading this, it's probably because you got redirected here when you clicked on "This functionality has been removed from Safari because Apple developers are elitists.". Either that, or you searched for something like "the" - nice one. Either way, I am here to tell you that right now, I think Safari sucks big time.

Why can't I style form elements? It's that simple. I want my submit button to look a certain way. I don't care that you care about usability. Not EVERY site needs to care. Yes, ok, Amazon should care. Great - I don't.

No matter what I do, unless I want to embed a specific image on the page in lieu of the regular submit button, I can't style it -- it will always be that hideous blue aqua theme. OK News Flash -- nothing on my site is aqua blue. I am a designer. I want shit to look a certain way, and that way is NOT aqua blue.

I need to quote a web developer from this article that basically covers the issue at hand: "and who's going to make the Aqua buttons look better anyway". Is this guy for real? Apparently, according to the "Man In Blue", the Aqua submit button is the perfect button for every occasion. How nice for you both -- and how convenient your site is all blue.

Anyhow, so I am disabling all form objects on my site in Safari in protest. I mean, I have to say, the IE team are a bunch of retards, but at least there are HACKS available to fix their stupidity. Safari developers aren't stupid -- they are elitists -- and I am afraid there is only room for one design elitist on THIS website.
