Skinnable Form Elements

Forms.JS is the successor of 6 separate controls for form styling, now consolidated in a single powerful component that will give you total control over the form elements on your page without any additional markup or sophisticated JavaScript. All you have to do is to add a single line of JavaScript in the head section of your webpage, define which elements will be styled, specify skinning region, set a skin, reload the page and leave the rest to Forms.JS. The component will seamlessly add cool Web 2.0 looks to input boxes, buttons, file inputs, checkboxes, radiobuttons and dropdowns.
