Not necessarily. In pre-HTML-5 browsers they are simply a textbox. In HTML 5 browsers the browser can choose any UI they want; the spec only defines the values which the form elements have. So a colour picker could be a button with a coloured square on it, where clicking that square brings up the platform's generic colour-picker dialog box. There might not be a textbox-like part of it anywhere. Smylers
