question on IE vs Firefox compatibility for input form styles

I have some CSS that works brilliantly in firefox but not at all in IE6, I am wonding if part of what I did is not compatible ?

 

input[type="text"],input[type="password"] {
border:1px solid #0000FF;
background-color:#FFFFFF;
color:#0000FF;
margin-top:5px;
}

 

Unfortunetly I cannot link the site since it is internal only.

in Firefox the form inputs are properly styled, but in IE, they are still the default style. 

I believe that IE6 doesn't recognize this:

 

input[type="text"]

 

It will only recognize

 

input

 

(although I could be wrong - I don't use this method).

 

You can get around this by assigning classnames to the fields you want to affect, and then targeting those classnames.
