White text in input boxes = invisible ????
 

Basically when I setup the store I used the default skin, which gives a body color tag as #000000; (black) by default, I have customized the customer end to give the corporate look similar to the static website, I changed the body color to #ffffff; (white) to put the white text onto the dark background, but now all of the input text boxes show white text when you type in them, meaning the text that you input is invisible until you highlight it, this happens for all form inputs...Authentication, Register etc etc....
Does anybody know what I need to do to change the colour of the text in the input boxes to #676767; so that the user/customer can see it?

Thank you in advance
Liam

maybe something like

Where do I put that? Into the main.css file?

Thank you by the way for the response.

You can change both the color of the text and the background of the input box.
Amy might have it right, but the css I have for it:


Keep in mind, the button part changes the button color too.
Change the background, border and color.


The login boxes may have another css select as well.

Fantastic thank you!

How do I do the same for the dropdown menus too please?

Thank you very much guys/girls :)

use firefox and firebug to work out what selectors you need for the css, it depends how your dropdowns are coded,
