change in font and font size in forms...

How do I make the text areas and drop-down boxes that have smaller text in them? Or perhaps a different font? It may be as simple as making my {input class="byusing.css"...} but I haven't tried it. Or is there something special I have to do?

Heres mine

.formobject { font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; font-style: normal; color: #ffffff; background-color: #660000; height: auto; width: auto; border: 1px #000000 solid; text-decoration: none}

and just use class="formobject"

you can customize all that stuff

or to avoid the extra class for each thing, just use all those declarations but do


input {} instead.

I should have just tried that but for some reason I thought it wouldn't work.

Follow-up question - how do I get it so that there is text in the box that says "name" or something but then when you click the box it dissapears. Sometimes I've even seen it so that it comes back if you don't type anything and click off of it. Anyone know?

put value="name" in the input tag.

value="name"

You can use javascript to clear the forum values.

onfocus="clearForm();"

function clearForm() {
this.form.value="";
}


Or something like that. *I just woke up so it's probably wrong*
