That's breaking everything in the CSS after that, your form rules included. Add a nice curly bracket after that rule and you should be in business. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/changing-entered-text-colors#post-20653 Tue, 15 Mar 2011 22:49:25 +0000 robjr 20653@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I've added this to my Thesis 1.8 custom css file, but nothing changes - any thing I have to change to get it to work?</p> <p><a href="http://robertrodriguezjr.com/contact/" rel="nofollow">http://robertrodriguezjr.com/contact/</a> </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/changing-entered-text-colors#post-17215 Fri, 28 Jan 2011 19:53:43 +0000 Kevin Flahaut 17215@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Your theme stylesheet sets a white font color for all of the page elements. This includes the form inputs so you can't see the white text on the white input background.</p> <p>You just need to target the form input fields and change the color. You can add this to the end of your theme stylesheet and you should be good to go,</p> <pre><code>body .gform_wrapper .gform_body .gform_fields .gfield input[type=text], body .gform_wrapper .gform_body .gform_fields .gfield input[type=email], body .gform_wrapper .gform_body .gform_fields .gfield input[type=url], body .gform_wrapper .gform_body .gform_fields .gfield input[type=tel], body .gform_wrapper .gform_body .gform_fields .gfield input[type=password], body .gform_wrapper .gform_body .gform_fields .gfield select, body .gform_wrapper .gform_body .gform_fields .gfield textarea {color:#000}</code></pre> <p>You can find more information on targeting form elements for CSS changes here.</p> <p><a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/css-targeting-samples/" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/css-targeting-samples/</a> </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/changing-entered-text-colors#post-17204 Fri, 28 Jan 2011 16:25:46 +0000 tacticalcc 17204@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I have posted two forms to ivyhaz.com under the menu items Application and Contact; however, in both cases, you can't see the text the visitor to the form enters. Is there a code that will allow me to change the entered text color for all forms on my site so those filling out the forms will be able to see what they are writing? </p>
