If it works/displays properly in the preview window and not when you publish the form, 99.9% of the time it's a theme-related issue. That's just good to know to start.</p> <p>That said, I looked at your theme CSS and found that your theme stylesheet disables the border on all elements by using the star * selector (style.css line 2). That is effectively disabling the form input borders. If you toggle that rule off, you'll see that the form displays correctly</p> <p>screenshot: <a href="http://d.pr/mN4d" rel="nofollow">http://d.pr/mN4d</a></p> <p>You can add this to the end of your theme stylesheet and it should override the blanket rule.. you can tweak it to your preference.</p> <pre><code>[css] body .gform_wrapper input[type=text], body .gform_wrapper input[type=tel], body .gform_wrapper input[type=url], body .gform_wrapper input[type=email], body .gform_wrapper input[type=file], body .gform_wrapper input[type=password], body .gform_wrapper input[type=number], body .gform_wrapper select, body .gform_wrapper textarea { border:1px solid #ccc; }</code></pre> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/text-box-borders-disappear-once-live#post-23295 Thu, 14 Apr 2011 14:53:52 +0000 Kevin Flahaut 23295@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Got the info.

There's no way to inspect your CSS that way to debug your problem. We need to see the actual form in a page. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/text-box-borders-disappear-once-live#post-23200 Wed, 13 Apr 2011 18:35:54 +0000 ParaGate 23200@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Thank you Carl.</p> <p>The site is password protected at the moment during construction.

If you post a link where we can see this happening on your site we can take a look and suggest some CSS changes to correct this. </p>
