 * Hi there, I’ve been trying and failing all weekend to do a simple formatting 
   alteration to a new text field/button I’ve added to the bottom of [http://www.rapnews.co.uk](http://www.rapnews.co.uk)
 * I didn’t design the site so I’m a novice, but have tried copying the method that
   appears to make my search box/button the correct colour/theme.
 * In my sidebar, I’ve called up mailinglist.php which includes the text field and
   button for people to subscribe to my mailing list.
 * In this php, the form/button is id’d as mailinglist, and in the style sheet, 
   i’ve copied and pasted the search’s theme colours, and changed the id to mailing
   list,
 * but the mailing list box/field still appears white instead of brown….
 * i know i must be missing something really simple, which is making it even more
   painful. any ideas please?
 * thanks.
