How to add a background colour to an Input type in a form

[misohoni]

at the moment all boxes have a white background:

<input type="text" id="dates" name="date" size="10" />

How do I add a background colour and even change the font type?

Thanks

you should be able to use:

style="background: #fc0; font-family: Georgia;"

I think that works if I remember correctly
