Styling field boxes on click

    I'm not quite sure how to style the field boxes on click? I can style them as is, but I want to control the style when the user clicks on the field box. How can I do this?

  2. you're probably looking for something like this... using the ":focus" pseudo-selector

    input[type=email]:focus, input[type=text]:focus, input[type=url]:focus, input[type=phone]:focus, textarea:focus, select:focus {border:1px solid #f00}

  5. You would just append this to the end of your theme's style.css file (or whatever the default stylesheet name is)

  7. Sorry, you'll need to do that with jQuery.
