How to remove/change color of this border?

[shibby2]

Hey guys, I need some help.

I'm trying to either remove, or change the color/width of the border around the QuickReply message, shown in the attachment.

Where and what would I edit?



Also, would anyone know how to put a message in the messagearea field of the QuickReply? Like if I wanted to put "Write a comment" in the field, much like it is in Facebook's reply field.

Thanks for any help, I'd really appreciate it! :)

Old info but still valid - http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/forum/vbulletin-legacy-versions-products/legacy-vbulletin-versions/vbulletin-3-5-how-do-i-questions-and-troubleshooting/171319-how-do-i-style-the-edit-box-border

Basically you want to add in more css to change it, see that thread for some tips including where to go to edit etc ;).

The outer border (http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_border.asp) which you indicate to in your pic can be changed in clientscript/vbulletin_editor.css file.

Very first class
/* the container for the editor */
.vBulletin_editor
{
border: 2px groove;
}

You'll need to use javascript to do that. There are several examples on this google search. textbox default text disappear on click (https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=textbox+default+text+disappear+on+cl ick)

You can use placeholder (http://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_textarea_placeholder.asp) it's now supported (http://caniuse.com/#feat=input-placeholder) in 99.9% of modern browsers.

In showthread_quickreply template find 2nd instance of:
<textarea name="message"
after add placeholder="Add you message here..."
