Yes basic scaffolding, it's been left intact. Agreed it *should* be overrideable. I tested on another page where I was not using jquery and same, could not change the color of a textarea or text input box.
After much experimentation (and vaguely remembered reading somewhere but couldn't tell you where) that the only way to style the text box was through calling its id, such as below <input id="sqrcell" class="1" type="text" value="dfdfdfdf"> which sucks because now styling becomes a per-id effort instead of per class of object as css intends and excels at <sigh> I have a workaround now, just not a solution, so will monitor thread in hopes someone can share the correct css specificity for this- thx On Saturday, August 3, 2013 9:57:34 AM UTC-4, Anthony wrote: > > Is this in the basic scaffolding app, or are you using custom CSS/JS?
