Anybody know if there is a way to get this to work as expected...

<style>
input { background-color:green; }
input[name*="_name"][value=""] { background-color:red; }
</style>
<input type="text" name="my_name" value="" />

That is, if the input is blank, the background is red, otherwise it is green.  Without resorting to javascript events.

Seems that in at least firefox and chrome, the value attribute is not updated in the DOM when altering the value of the field?

As you have found out, when the textbox is field, there isn't any trigger to the DOM that the state of the textbox has change. You are inevitably require JavaScript (or make use Jquery event at least) to monitor the state change.

Indeed, there is a bugzilla entry for it...

Apparently IE does what I would have expected (but have not tested myself).

I have also reported to Chromium which also exhibits the problem...
