Stupid Comment Box, Can't get it to become transparent Options

[FoxLucky]

I can change the buttons and the text in the buttons so it's transparent and whatever values I want... but I can't seem to get the actual text box to change...
Here's the code I'm using:

<form method="post" action="http://comments.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.ConfirmComment"><input name="friendID" value="90197292" type="hidden"><textarea name="f_comments" style="width: 155; height: 30px;" cols="10" rows="7" style="border-width: 1px; border-style: solid; border-color: 000000; font-family: Century Gothic; text-transform:uppercase; letter-spacing:1pt; font-size: 7px; color: 000000; background-color: 000000;" style="overflow:auto;">What's up?</textarea>
<br> <input value="SUBMIT" style="border-width: 1px; border-style: solid; border-color: 000000; width:75px; font-family: small fonts; text-transform:uppercase; letter-spacing:1pt; font-size: 7px; color: 000000; background-color: transparent;" type="submit"> <input value="RESET" style="border-width: 1px; border-style: solid; border-color: 000000; width:75px; font-family: small fonts; text-transform:uppercase; letter-spacing:1pt;font-size: 7px; color: 000000; background-color: transparent;" type="reset"></form>

I know it can be done because I've seen it on other people's profiles...
