Knowledge Point: Transformed Web Control
A transformed web control is a web element that is transformed that look different from the standard ones, as shown below.
This is commonly accomplished using (on the fly) JavaScript, which conceals the original web control and replaces it with a styled control that serves the same purpose.
Although the functionality remains unchanged, the behaviour of a transformed web control can differ.
