Setting separate background colors for Form and Comments

Hi immanence

I’m hoping to style my guestbook, so the Form and the Comments have separate background colors.

In the DMSGuestbook CSS section:

form “css_form_embedded” No. (33)
Insert following code: background-color: #ff0000;

post “css_post_embedded” No. (34)
Insert following code: background-color: #00ff00;

If you see my form, I want to cut exactly between the end of the reCAPTCHA / Submit button and the “1” that is the page pagination for the comments.

Open “../plugins/dmsguestbook/template/form/default.tpl” with an editor and change padding 30 to 0 in the variable $var_form11.

it’s not that important, but I couldn’t for the life of me get the “*Required” word to move without screwing up all the other words (“Name” “Email” etc). Ideally it would be in line with the left border of the Form.

Open “../plugins/dmsguestbook/template/form/default.tpl” with an editor and edit the variable $var_form6.

Greetings,
Dani

As example:
Insert background-color:#ff0000; in these fields in the css section:
css_form_namefield
css_form_emailfield
css_form_urlfield
css_form_messagefield

Your theme overwrite the width values of input text field. Try to overwrite this value by inserting a new value in the “Custom CSS” box (at the end of the css section).

E.g:
input.css_form_namefield {width:150px;}
input.css_form_emailfield {width:150px;}
