Hi,

I want to setup a page with a bunch of input fields in an html form (i.e. using the 'form' and 'input' commands), but I want to be able to stylize the text for input, much like the input text is stylized for this forum.

In other words, how can I modify the colors and appearance of the input text in the following input field?

Code: [ Select ]
<input type="text" name="textinput">


Do I use CSS? Can I just add 'font' commands?

You mean like this?

feel welcome to review my source code. You'll have to import the style sheet into your style editor:

And yes, you do it with CSS - in fact you should try to learn CSS well enough to never have to use the font tag again. It's been depracated for well over two years now -- you're not even supposed to use it anymore.

Thanks ATNO/TW,

I'll look through the source, and if I have any further questions I'll post them here...:)

Cool. For some reason the site seems to be temporarily down as I'm looking at it. Hopefully, it will be back up shortly. Otherwise I'm going to have a few words with the provider.
