(if not please do before posting)
If so, what terms did you try:
style.css edits, for table entries
Write your message below:
I have edited style.css to tailor my board, however I am unable to change the properties of the text area (to add a background color). I have changed table.entries in style.css and added class=entries to the textarea definitions in mboard.php based on guidance in this forum, to no effect (no changes to table.entries properties actually change the table). Here's what I am trying to do:
table.entries {
color : black;
background-color : #FF9933;
}
I have also tried TD.entries, and .entries, nothing works.

Try

textarea {
color : black;
background-color : #FF9933;
}

and for other input fields:

input {
color : black;
background-color : #FF9933;
}
