[Bug 835565] [NEW] cannot override default background color in css buttons

[Marvin E. Germain]

Public bug reported:

<button type=button style='width:80px;height:80px;background-color:blue'> howdy </button>
background is gray.  Same problem with javascript:
         var myButton=document.createElement('button');
         myButton.style.cssText = 'background-color:blue;width:50px;height:50px';
Result is a button with gray background.  Should be blue.

Problem began with hp mini updates pushed on 08-24-2011.
