change the size and look of the comment form and comments?
I found “comment_form” under forms but I cannot see how to change the size and look of it? If you check out my site @ www.deronsizemore.com and click one of the test articles you’ll see the comment form is a little to big for the content area. Where can I edit this at?
Thanks

You should check the sourcecode of your page. There you can see the CSS-classes that are assigned to the different input fields. For example, the CSS-class of the name input field is <code>.comment_name_input</code>. Add this class to your CSS-file, change the width and you’re done.
…Prrrrrrrr…

Oh my gosh…and it’s that easy. I kept thinking there must be some form to specify rows and cols to make the textarea smaller! Man I make things to complicated sometimes! Thanks for the help

Re: change the size and look of the comment form and comments?
Hello,
This is probably more of a CSS query rather than specifically TXP, but hopefully you can help.
I’m trying to change the width of the comment input field.
The page source is showing <textarea class="txpCommentInputMessage" name="message" id="message" cols="25" rows="5"></textarea>
I have added the following to my CSS
<code>
txpCommentInputMessage
{
width: 200px;
}</code>
But it still doesn’t change the width. Am I missing something obvious? Any pointers gratefully received.

You’re missing a dot in front of txpCommentInputMessage.

Thanks for the quick reply. I have added a dot but it still doesn’t change the width.
There are no inline styles that I can see and the header style is:
<code>
<style type=“text/css” media=“screen”>
body {
background: url(“/txp/images/kubrickbgcolor.gif”) fixed center top;
}
#page {
background: url(“/txp/images/kubrickbg2.gif”) repeat-y top;
border-left: 1px solid #1F3851;
border-right: 1px solid #1F3851;
}
#header {
background: url(“/txp/images/kubrickheader2.jpg”) no-repeat bottom center;
}
#footer {
background: url(“/txp/images/kubrickfooter2.jpg”) no-repeat bottom; border: none;
}
</style>
</code>
so I can’t see that it would affect the Comment Input.

Is there a live site? Make sure your curly braces and semicolons are closed in your CSS (validate)
