Re: Simple css question
Yes it does, thanks. And I can see, roughly, what the solution is from the way you described it.
I’m still not ‘equipped’ to do it but that’s because I can’t code this stuff – not, it appears, because my question hasn’t been answered, but because its not as sraightforward as someone just providing me the few lines of css.
Damnit, I wish I could code. But its like this for me: think of a foreign language you just couldn’t understand. Thats how it is for me, with code.

Re: Simple css question
It’s near impossible to supply any CSS that would work unless we see the HTML to the form (or even provide a link to the page in question) you are trying to style. The source HTML dictates the CSS you would use. Trying to do it any other way would be guess-work.
The only thing I can suggest is to use something like the following:
select {
background-color: #F8F7F5;
border: 1px solid #bdcbd7;
}
input, textarea {
background-color: #F8F7F5;
border: 1px solid #bdcbd7;
}Something like this allows you to style the dropdown menu separately from the other form elements. Keep in mind that this will style every input, textarea on the page the same way.

Re: Simple css question
Thanks all. Used some of that advice and it’s not quite OK at my site, but will do for now until I have the patience and mental clarity to carry out the full instructions ;)
