OK, let's look at bugzilla.m.o. It uses <select>, <input type="file/checkbox/radio"> without any special style on them. Do they look very bad within its context? Actually it seems to me, as we do not provide any decent method for styling things inside form controls, pushing people to mix normal form controls with jQuery UI components could be even worse for UI consistency. > Also remember that jQuery UI also works fine for websites that "just > wants something usable". It unnecessarily bloats the page. It requires the whole huge jQuery plus two additional jQuery UI files, which should have been completely avoidable for a page designed for modern browsers. - Xidorn _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
