how to set color for textbox

[laguna82alan]

Hi!! currently i'm working on a simple form for on-line registration. It consist of some simple fields like login name , password , email etc...

No matter how hard i try to set color for the textbox which is actually <input type='text'>, i won't work. However, i saw someone actually did that before. Their website had textboxes with colors on it. i even got the code, it looks like this
<input type=password name=password size=15 maxlength=20 class=input style="height:18px;font-family:Arial;font-size:8pt;font-weight:bold;color:#CC0000">

I try this code on my page it won't show anything except a normal white textbox.

Can someone help mi? Or do i need to install some application on my server?

Hello.

The most efficient was to change the style of something is to use Cascading Style Sheets. CHeck out the link in my signature for an introduction to using them.

Purely by coincidence, I have been playing with a styled text box in another thread, here is the link -
