Use CSS, it'll be easier.

You can use it for any text areas, radio buttons, text boxes, check boxes and submit buttons.

Here is a button I use for my site.

<input type='submit' value='Click to complete order' style='background-color: #638177; color: #ffffff;' />

Thanks for your suggestions guys. I found a solution that uses a combination of JavaScript & CSS.

Cheers.
