changing colors on buttons

is there a way you can change the text color on buttons as well as the background color for a button? i have a button that looks like: <input type="button" name="edit" value="edit" onclick="window.location='edit.php';" onkeypress="window.location='edit.php'"> so is there a way to change text color and background color for that? or is it better to use <button> and do it that way... my client wants light blue buttons with dark blue text on them but we need "real buttons" if you really want to call them that..not images that act like buttons... tnx --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
