Colorizing help please

brandofamily

I need to adjust the background for the comment box on this page:

http://www.brandolinoimaging.com/Info-Pages/Guestbook/n-twXwT

I can change the color to what I wish using

.sm-user-ui .sm-form-field {
background:#faebd7; 
border:solid 2px #8f7b62;
border-radius: 10px;
-moz-border-radius: 10px;
-webkit-border-radius: 10px;
}

But there are 2 issues...
1. I need to change the text color to black also when a comment is typed
2. When I click the box to type the color of the box changes (which works great if I cannot change the color of the text, but it's not what I want).

Just add 'color:#000;' to you code from above and add this for the focus field.

.sm-user-ui .sm-form-field:focus,
.sm-user-ui .sm-form-field.sm-focus {
    color: #fff;
    background: #;
    }

EDIT:
I left the color blank. You can add a color or just remove it

Thanks... I ended up going only w/ the border and not changing the field colors. I was trying to set it off against my dark background and the border does it. I did need your code to get the border to stick once the field was clicked on.

Curious how I did not need the extra code to do the same in the Smugmug style gallery.

Not sure I follow, but I also don't use the comment box on my site, so I'm really not sure why.

I have a black/ orange gradient background. The comment box background is also black. If the box fall to far up the page the 2 black background blend and you cannot see there is a comment box really. The border makes it more visible.
