Overwite CSS Label?
 

My website is mainly black and white. Black background and white text mostly. I changed the:

div, th, td, p, input, select, textarea, tt, button {main.css (line 20)
color:#FFFFFF; I changed this to white

font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;
font-size:13px;

to make the overall text white.

Now the Search Box, Select Language Box, and Login Box all have white text instead of black. When I check the CSS with Firebug the color: #000000 is crossed out:

#header .languages label {main.css (line 496)
color:#000000; this part is striked through or crossed out?

font-size:12px;
line-height:21px;

how do I make the text black in the boxes and leave the white text alone? Thanks to for everybodies help.

Thank you ChristineP I changed:

.menu-dialog .title-bar

color is #FFFFFF;

to

.menu-dialog .title-bar

color is #000000;


and it still did not change?

Again thank you for your help. :-)

The color that I need to change is the color inside the input boxes. Please try and change the language an you will see that the text is white instead of black.

But I do like the color change of the title bars.

I guess I was a little bit too slow responding. You already noticed it.

I am really new at CSS so I am asking this question so I will know. If I were to delete the "input" would it make the text black by default?

div, th, td, p, input, select, textarea, tt, button

div, th, td, p, select, textarea, tt, button

Thank you for all your help.

Thank you Christine! You are the best!. I removed the input and textarea and it all worked!

Just separate the classes you want different out of "div, th, td, p, input, select, textarea, tt, button", in your case "input, select, and textarea" classes, and make them color:#000; in a new class listing.
