IIRC, in CSS2 the more standards compliant browsers allow you to do:

input[type='text'] {}
input[type='checkbox'] {}

But I'm not sure about browser support. There are compatibility issues with the 
above, as well as with using the "class" attribute on input elements. I tend to 
wrap each input element inside a div and style the div, which works pretty well 
across browsers.
