text field background color?

[influx]

Is there any way to change a text fields background color? If so, does it require PHP?

Hi

In HTML/CSS you can, like this

<INPUT type="text" maxLength=100 size=10 value=your-email name=email style="background-color:#bbb">
or
<INPUT type="text" maxLength=100 size=10 value=your-email name=email style="background-color:#a14fce">
or
<INPUT type="text" maxLength=100 size=10 value=your-email name=email style="background-color:rgb(235,125,32)">

or you can make a CSS style (in the head or in an external style sheet) and call it from the input tag:

<INPUT type="text" maxLength=100 size=10 value=your-email name=email class="mytextfield">

where the css looks like this:

<style type=text/css>
.mytextfield {
background-color:#a14fce;
}
</style>

Thanks Treva, that was very cleva!

Wow, that was very in-depth and thank you for your time.....now, since that works, when I visit www.2advanced.net, and click "My Account" at the top....the text field has shadows...is there any way to do that as well?

Also, can i change the font that appears in text fields?

thanks -bumple!

I looked at the source of the page you said, you need to add:

BACKGROUND-IMAGE: url(images/txtbox_shadow.gif);

to the style="" part of the code given in the previous post. find attached the image to be used. Make sure you set a SIZE="xx" attribute in the HTML of the input otherwise you could get a part which was unshadowed.

Hi,

They did the shadow with a background image I suppose. Also css:
<style type=text/css>
.mytextfield {
background-color:#a14fce;
background-image: url("someimage.gif"😉
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Times;
font-size: 9pt;
}
</style>

Have a look at stylesheets
