form element UI is somewhat controlled by browser and operating system, so it is not trivial to style them very reliably in a way that it would look the same in all common browser/OS combinations.

Instead, if you want something specific, I would recommend to use a library that provides you stylable form elements. uniform.js is one such library.

Simply style your Submit button like you would style any other html element  you can target different type of input elements using CSS attribute selector  As an example you could write    input type text         your styles here          input type submit         your styles here          textarea       your styles here            Combine with other selectors  input type text  hover        your styles here          input type submit   gt  p        your styles here                 Here is a working Example

I would suggest instead of using      lt input type  submit  gt    use       lt button type  submit  gt    Button was introduced specifically bearing CSS styling in mind  You can now add the gradient background image to it or style it using CSS3 gradients    Read more on HTML5 forms structure here     http   www w3 org TR 2011 WD-html5-20110525 forms html   Cheers   Pav

For reliability I d suggest giving class-names  or ids to the elements to style  ideally a class for the text-inputs  since there will presumably be several  and an id to the submit button  though a class would work as well     lt form action     method  post  gt       lt label for  text1  gt Text 1 lt  label gt       lt input type  text  class  textInput  id  text1    gt       lt label for  text2  gt Text 2 lt  label gt       lt input type  text  class  textInput  id  text2    gt       lt input id  submitBtn  type  submit    gt   lt  form gt    With the CSS    textInput          styles the text input elements with this class        submitBtn          styles the submit button        For more up-to-date browsers  you can select by attributes  using the same HTML     input          styles all input elements        input type  text             styles all inputs with type  text         input type  submit             styles all inputs with type  submit         You could also just use sibling combinators  since the text-inputs to style seem to always follow a label element  and the submit follows a textarea  but this is rather fragile     label   input  label   textarea          styles input  and textarea  elements that follow a label       input   input  textarea   input          would style the submit-button in the above HTML
