input texts or buttons gradient(Style) not visible into IE 6 (It works fine into IE 7)

I've open your components demo page :
http://jsfunit.demo.jboss.com/jboss-jsfunit-examples-richfaces/richfaces/actionparam.jsf?c=actionparam&tab=usage

the problem appeared there also.

i think that the problem is with jsf (or a4j) components, there is no problem with rich custom components skin ability.

i also can post my example later if needed.

Hello Paata,

http://livedemo.exadel.com/richfaces-demo/richfaces/standardSkinning.jsf?c=StandardSkinning&tab=usage - extended skinning is not applied to browsers having rich visual styling for controls (e.g. Opera and Safari). Also advanced level of skinning requires support of CSS 2 attribute selectors either as implicit type attributes for button/textarea elements (e.g. IE7 in standards compilant mode) or CSS 3 draft namespace selectors (e.g. Mozilla Firefox).

That's exactly the case you've described.

thank you very much for your post.
I'm newbie on web development and i have one question :
is there any workaround about it ?
is it correct to write custom style classes in case of Opera and Safari ?

Yes, it is correct to write custom style classes for Opera and Safari. The reason of not deep-skin these browsers was that there's already rich styling that:

1. Users are suited to
2. Produces visual issues if trying to completely redefine it; so very complex to support
