Codezwiz >> Forums >> General PHP Nuke Help >> changing yellow background on form input fields

Hello everyone. New here, but this is a great looking site! 2 questions for anyone willing to answer....

One thing i've noticed here, and i'm having the same problem on my site, is that input fields are colored to yellow, and with white text, it makes it difficult to tell what your typing. Is there a way to change the colors of these input fields?

Secondly, i'm using nuke 7.3, and some users at my web site are getting 2 error messages when they visit my forum. I tracked down the error code and it refers to cookie use, and cache use. I disabled the cache code that was causing the problem and one of the error messages is gone, but i dont' want to disable cookie use for obvious reasons. Anyone else find a workaround for this problem?

Thanks in advance!!!
Ron

Disabling the cookies is absolutely fine to do. Nuke plants one anyway. I do not see yellow forms here on my site can you leave a link to yours so I can look at it?

Telli,

On your site it's the registration form for your site. The yellow background does not affect all form fields, I think it's just the required fields, eg email address. When I signed up for your site I noticed you had the same problem.

Just noticed it's on your "recommend us" module as well...

Thanks!

I believe the YELLOW is part of a program you have loaded on your computer such as a "pop up blocker" or a custom toolbar on your browser.

I perfect example of this is the google toolbar that is also a popup blocker. It has an auto fill function (or auto complete for forms) and one of its options is to color any field yellow that it can fill automatically.

To answer your question

Is there a way to change the colors of these input fields?

Yes, you can change the color of the font and/or background of the input field of a form by either adding style for it to your Css OR by adding the inline style attribute directly to the input tags of form itself.

Example of adding style directly to the input tag of form...

You were 100% on with your first inclination. I have a google pop-up blocker. The interesting thing is that i have the autofill option disabled, but it was still coloring them. I feel like a dunce...

Thanks so much for the response!
Ron
