fantasai has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts: == [css-forms-1] Which form controls does ::field-text apply to? == Pulling out of https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/12950#issuecomment-3402955776 ... fantasai wrote: > do we really need ::field-text for <textarea>...?

Whether ::field-text is needed for either element is probably worth justifying. fantasai replied: > I think if we have ::field-text for some form controls that look like text fields, we should have it for all of them. It's an even stronger argument than consistency between single-line inputs and multiline inputs, which behave differently in a number of ways. :) Proposals to discuss: - `::field-text` applies to `<input type=text>` and anything that has a derivative interface, including date, time, number, password, etc. - `::field-text` also applies to `<textarea>`.
