artkit 0 Report post Posted January 29, 2011 I am try to add a CSS,HTML opt-in form to my text widget and it keeps taking the form of the default theme CSS. Do I put the Raw HTML in the text widget and then where do I put the external style sheet code? I tried even putting in the html in CSS format and still no background image and button appears. I put the CSS in the custom code section for the Platform pro dashboard in the body but that didn't work either. Can you please explain the steps I need to follow to accomplish a form in CSS using Platform Pro. Here is the html code: </style></head><body> <div class="formContainerDiv" > <form action="http://xxx.us1.list-manage1.com/subscribe/post?u=5baacd70f453387d9cbc00fd9&id=3884facc0f" name="SubscriptionForm" method="POST" > <input value="PASTE THE U VALUE HERE" name="u" type="hidden" /> <input value="PASTE THE ID VALUE HERE" name="id" type="hidden" /> <div> <p class="fieldName" > Name </p> <input type="text" name="name" class="textInput" /> <p class="fieldName" > E Mail </p> <input type="text" name="email" class="textInput" /> <p class="fieldName centerAlign" > Where Did you Find Us? </p> <input type="text" name="findus" class="textInput" /> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="SUBSCRIBE" class="subscribeB" /> </div> <!-- End div Container --> </form> <!-- End Form --> </div> <!-- End formContainer --> </body></html> And here is the CSS: * { margin:0; padding:0; } div.formContainerDiv { height:474px; width:300px; background-image:url(images/bg.png); background-repeat-x:no-repeat; background-repeat-y:no-repeat; background-repeat:no-repeat; background-attachment:initial; background-position:initial initial; background-position-x:initial; background-position-y:initial; background-origin:initial; background-clip:initial; padding-top:1px; background-color:transparent; margin:10px; } div.formContainerDiv > form > div { width:280px; border-width:initial; border-color:#000000; border-style:none; margin:85px 0px 0px 14px; } p.fieldName { padding-left:8px; font-family:'lucida sans unicode'; font-size:20px; font-weight:100; color:#FFFFFF; } p.centerAlign { text-align:center; margin-top:2px; } input.textInput { background-image:url(images/textFieldsBG.png); background-repeat-x:no-repeat; background-repeat-y:no-repeat; background-repeat:no-repeat; background-attachment:initial; background-position:initial initial; background-position-x:initial; background-position-y:initial; background-origin:initial; background-clip:initial; height:40px; width:275px; border-width:initial; border-color:#000000; background-color:transparent; border-style:none; margin:1px 0px 8px 0px; } input.subscribeB { background-image:url(images/subscribeButtonbg.png); background-repeat-x:no-repeat; background-repeat-y:no-repeat; background-repeat:no-repeat; background-attachment:initial; background-position:initial initial; background-position-x:initial; background-position-y:initial; background-origin:initial; background-clip:initial; width:233px; height:53px; border-width:initial; border-color:#000000; font-family:helvetica; font-size:30px; font-weight:bold; background-color:transparent; border-style:none; margin:10px 0px 0px 22px; } input.subscribeB:hover { color:#FFFFFF; } Thank You Beau Thorogood My website is http://fivelinedesigns.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
catrina 103 Report post Posted January 29, 2011 The CSS code must not be put in the widget and if it's not working in the Custom Code area, paste it into the base.css file (in PlatformBase, the child theme) instead. Please read the docs before posting. Please do not private message me unless I ask you to. Designer | Catrina Dulay Founder | Catrina and Mouse Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
artkit 0 Report post Posted January 29, 2011 Thanks for the help. I figured out what was wrong and it was the url path to the images. I had the url(images/bg.png) I just changed the url to url(http://my domain/images/bg.png) Kinda important if I want any graphics to show up. I am a relatively new coder. I love platform pro though. Thanks anyway Catrina Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
