1) Styles on form elements do not work in Netscape 4.

2) Yes, it is possible if you adjust your syntax:

element {border-width: 1px;
   border-style: solid;
   border-color: #000000;
}

works fine in Netscape 4 (and all other browsers). The short syntax (border: 
1px solid #000000) doesn't, though.
