Gotcha: Browser Default Styles
As you can see above, the "Default Unstyled Input" looks different from the styled one, and its appearance will vary across different browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, etc.). This is because browsers have their own default stylesheets for form elements.
The key classes (`border rounded px-3 py-2`) provide a good starting point for custom styling.
However, to achieve truly consistent and more professional-looking forms across all browsers,
the
@tailwindcss/forms
plugin
is highly recommended.
It resets many browser-specific styles for form elements, providing a much cleaner and
consistent baseline to build upon with Tailwind utility classes. Without it, you might
spend more time fighting default browser styles.
While we can't enable the plugin in this simple CDN demo, in a project with a build step, you would install it (e.g., `npm install -D @tailwindcss/forms`) and add it to your `tailwind.config.js` file.
