Form Field Input Text Color

Forms
Updated September 6, 2018
posted on September 6, 2018

How can change the color of the input text for all fields of a form?  I set the Body Text under Fields to the desired color but this only changes the font for radio buttons. I'd like to change the font color of the text that the user types into the form.

 

Thanks,

You could just do something like the following

input[type=text] {
    color:red;
}

If you don't include [type=text] it could affect other items like upload buttons, if you also want it to cover multi-lines, dropdowns, etc., you could do the following

input[type=text], textarea, select {
    color: red;
}

Thank you Jason.  That is exactly what I needed.

Anyone know how to get these new settings to show on the form saved in Laserfiche?  It is only affecting the text as they type it in.  The saved form has the old settings.

The saved form is a bit different because when Forms renders the document for storage in the repository, the fields are no longer "input" elements.

I can't remember off the top of my head what type of element they become for rendering, but you could try the following selectors to see if any work, or if they do work, which works best.

.cf-field > div > :first-child
.cf-field > div > *
.cf-field *

The thing to test is if you have text above/under the fields because the less specific selectors would change the color of that text as well.

None of those are working.  I'll keep playing around with it and post if I find the right one.

Try adding !important and test them again

color:red !important;

Those selectors don't have the highest specificity so something in the default styling might be overriding what you're testing.

I must have typed something wrong the first time.  I just tried the following and it works!  Thanks for your help

.cf-field * {font-size:16px; font-style:bold; color: black;}
input[type=text], textarea, select {font-size:16px; font-style:bold; color: black;}

You'd use custom CSS with the selector input. Sample (modified from here):

input { color: red; }
