Hi
The simple HTML below displays differently in Firefox and WebKit-based browsers (I checked in Safari, Chrome and iPhone).
In Firefox both border and text have the same color (#880000), but in Safari the text gets a bit lighter (as if it had some transparency applied to it).
Can I somehow fix this (remove this transparency in Safari)?
UPDATE:
Thank you for your answers. I don't need this for my work anymore (instead of disabling, I'm replacing input elements with styled div elements), but I'm still curious why this happens and if there is any way to control this behaviour ...
