White text in TEXTAREA

Hi,

when using textareas (.e.g with the form wizard), I always have white text! Also when I try to display earlier data (other fields work) I see an empty TEXTAREA. When I select the white text in it, it becomes blue...

E.g.:

<DIV class=form_item>
<DIV class="form_element cf_textarea">
<LABEL class=cf_label>Toelichting</LABEL>
<TEXTAREA class=cf_inputbox id=toelichting name=toelichting rows=3 cols=30><? echo $data[toelichting]; ?></TEXTAREA></DIV>
<DIV class=clear> </DIV></DIV>

Where can I change the color? Because <SPAN> etc doesn't work since it is displayed as text in the TEXTAREA.

Thanks,

Gr, Jan

Hi Jan,

This usually happens with dark colored themes that use white or light-coloured text.

You should be able to fix it with some css that relates just to the form. Something like:

<style type="text/css">
form input {color:black;}
</style>

NB Not tested and may need debugging.
