Background of textbox in Profile

[dd365media]

Hello,

I can't figure out how to change background of textbox in Profile (visitor messages). Through body_background it will change background of forum too.

Any ideas?

I just answered this recently....

.profile_content .editor_textbox iframe {
background: xxxxxx;
}

Thanks. I tried it but it didn't changed anything so I deleted

.profile_content .editor_textbox textarea, .profile_content .editor_textbox iframe {
background: {vb:stylevar body_background.backgroundColor};
font-size: {vb:stylevar small_fontSize};
height: 100px;
}

And now it's okay.

You helped me a lot. So thank you again.

If you tried the code I posted, my guess it you put it in the wrong place. You need to put it somewhere *after* vbulletin defines it or it won't overwrite the vbulletin property.

I'm trying to change that as well. I added that line to the bottom of member.css, but it didn't do anything. Did I add it to the wrong .css

What template was it originally defined in? You can put it at the end of that template.

Just gonna edit your code Lynne hope u dont mind, So that ppl dont have to worry where the CSS is added.


.profile_content .editor_textbox iframe {
background: #xxxxxx !important ;
}

The class used is this
.postbit-lite .posttext {
color:#coloruwant;
}
Try it but it might change some other text too..

Go into stylevars > and change "textedit_background"

Dave - tried yours first since it's easier - didn't work, I changed it to red just to check and it didn't affect it at all.

^^Attitude, Will try that in my css . . .

Lynne can you explain this for a dummy like me?
My profile page and the blog page both have a transparent background so that the page background shows through. Like others, I just want to change those blocks to white. I've used firebug and quite simply, it doesn't help in this matter.

So what to I look for, the profile template? and then add your code to the bottom and replace xxxxxx with the color I want?

Thanks,

Johnnie

I always just add CSS to additional.css instead of changing it in the default css files.

OK, I'm not as smart as Lynne thinks I am, can I get the dumb guy step by step?
