Outline on Fields

  1. Hey Everyone,

    I'm a complete newbie and I installed the forms on a site we're getting ready to launch but if you look at it:

    There are no outlines on the fields and it's hard to see where to type. I'm guessing the fix is real simple and I just need direction on what to do.

    I also wouldn't mind knowing how to change the background field color as well.

    Thanks!

  2. Your theme is the culprit. On line 3 of the _reset.css file, it's declaring no border on inputs and textareas along with some other rules. When I disabled that temporarily, you can see that it works fine.

    You can reapply the borders by putting something like this in your _custom.css file.

    .gform_wrapper input, .gform_wrapper textarea {border:1px solid #ccc}

    You can also declare background colors, etc to suit your preference.
