    Hi, just wondering if one of you pro's could help me out, I have a problem with a contact form that I created from the emailmeform.com site....

    It worked fine on the last site I used but now the font seems to be in white?!? I have checked the source code etc.. and changed everything eventhings that I usually wouldnt bother with as I thought I was losing my mind :)

    I created a new one as well and its the same problem?!?

    Heres the link http://www.westlakelodgestudios.com/contact.htm just would be happy if the type within the form was black? can anyone see the problem??

    Cheers

    Your style sheet has the following:
    td, textarea, input, select (line 5)
    
    {
    font-family: Tahoma;
    font-size: 10px;
    color: #ffffff;
    font-weight: normal;
    line-height: 14px;
    }
    

    Change this:
    color: #ffffff;
    To:
    color: #000;

    Actually, I just realised that this will affect the other elements as well.

    Leave it as it is, and then underneath it just put:

    input
    {
    color: #000;
    }

    Edit - here's something I said in another thread, which may be of use if you're going to be doing more tweaking:
    me wrote:
    Download the web developer tool bar for Firefox. Click on the CSS menu and select "View Style Information". Now just move the mouse around the page and the element you're hovering over will have a red box around it. Click on the content div that is too narrow and you will be shown the CSS style being applied to it, so then you just have to edit the CSS file accordingly.

    You can probably find it manually as well, but if you're thinking of making more changes, it's worth while downloading this tool.

    There's also a very good one for IE, and I think this one allows you to change style attributes on the fly (temporarily obviously) so you can see what they look like immediately.
