BORDER-TOP: #7F9DB9 1px groove; BORDER-LEFT: #7F9DB9 1px groove;
BORDER-BOTTOM: #7F9DB9 1px groove;FONT: 11px Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;
COLOR: #333333; WIDTH: 120px; HEIGHT: 19px; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #FFFFFF">

1. Which browser did you check in?
2. What's the doctype?
3. I'm not sure about using the style in the tag instead of creating a
class in a remote style sheet (or in the doc's head) and name the tag.
To me this looks whacky. Learn basic CSS, it's easy.
4. I did this in DW, took me 20 seconds. Copy and put in head of the doc:

<style type="text/css">
<!--
input {
border: 1px groove #7F9DB9;
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 11px;
height: 19px;
width: 120px;
background-color: #FFFFFF;
color: #333333;
}
-->
</style>

The problem is that you cannot represent a "groove" with a 1 pixel wide
border. With a 1 pixel border, the best you can hope for is a solid,
dotted, or dashed line and browser support for anything except solid is
a bit iffy.

Actually, borders on form fields itself is a bit iffy, if I recall
correctly.

For NN4, you're right. In some cases, for NN4, assigning a border will
disable the input, or in some cases cause it not to display at all.
