I am unable to set a vertical/top padding for the text/placeholder in input elements.
The following code will work in IE/Firefox/Opera, but not in Safari/Chrome:
CSS:
input
{
border: 1px solid black;
height: 100px;
padding: 70px 25px 10px 25px;
width: 300px;
}
HTML:
<input type="text" placeholder="Enter text here"/>
The webkit Developer Tools display the metrics as they should be, but the text is still in the middle of the input.
Something similar might be here (unanswered though).
