Input Boxes disappear when I change templates ...

Whenever I change templates the input boxes disappear. I would really like to be able to get them back without deleting and creating a new form from scratch, but that's the only I've been able to get them back in the past.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot!

ChronoForms 3.1 RC 5.5

I'm not sure why it happens; it could be because the new template doesn't have any specific styling for input boxes or something.

But, here is the solution just in case your input box borders ever disappear.

1. Open your form for editing by clicking on the form title from the list view.
2. Click the "Form Code" tab - the fourth from the left.
3. Go to "CSS Styles" and click on the [+/-] link. (that will open a text box for editing)
4. Enter styling for .cf_inputbox, and #chrono_verification (this is for Captcha verification if you are using it)
5. Click save and view your form.

The CSS to use for a simple black border is like this:

.cf_inputbox {
border: 1px solid #000000;
}
#chrono_verification {
border: 1px solid #000000;
}

But, you can change the hex code for the color (#000000) to whatever you like.

Hope that helps someone out.

Hi Jonathan,

That's exactly it. If the combination of ChronoForms CSS and tempalte CSS leaves you with white input boxes with white borders (or no borders) on a white background then the inputs 'disappear'.
