I have spend some time wondering why would Apple decide to style their buttons in a non-standard way and then not respect the css style set by the designer. I just found the answer how to get rid of the Apple predefined style and allow the buttons to look like in every other browser. To do this you have to set the webkit-appearance property to none:


input { --webkit-appearance: none; }


That’s all.

I have always been a fan of open source and wanted to contribute some code to a project or two. Somehow, I never found a project I would really enjoy and could directly benefit from as well. I was simply looking for an project that would scratch my itch.
Finally while working on an e-commerce system for my company I have decided to use active_merchant to connect to PayPal. The original implementation used by active_merchant was targeting and older xml based gateway and I have decided to re-implement the gateway using more recent NVP (name-value pair) interface. Hopefully this will allow for more modern features of the PayPal service.
A few days ago Cody has committed my patch and it is currently part of the active_merchant main code.

I have also created git repository where I can add more functionality as needed.
Here is the link for the interested:

git clone http://git.furmanek.net/active_merchant.git

Enjoy.
