Wrong background on custom input["text"] CSS

Question

I'm trying to style a form input["text"] field, but I'm getting this white border / background all around, and I don't know how to get rid of it.

Can anyone help me?

enter image description here

.my-form-login input[type="text"] {
    background-image: url('../images/text-input.png');
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    outline: none;
    width: 180px;
    height: 30px;
    border: none;
    padding: 5px;
}

Try using border-radius from CSS3 if all you want is rounded corners. — Hauleth

Use background-color:[background color of parent tag];

The element that's showing the white background is almost definitely the input - it has a default background color of white. Just setting the background color to transparent will do for the most part.

A combination of border:0px + setting the background color solved it

Althought would be great to set it to transparent...

Thanks everyone.
