How can I set the color of text in a text field/text area?

IE4+ and NN6 allow CSS to do that:
  <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="fieldName" STYLE="color: orange;">
and you can change that with JavaScript:
  document.formName.fieldName.style.color = 'black';
NN3/4 don't allow to color text fields/text areas (or maybe on unix 
where I remember that
  <FONT COLOR="orange"><INPUT TYPE="text" VALUE="JavaScript"></FONT>
had an effect but I do not have the resources currently to verify 
that.)
