 * Hi all!
 * I’m having some problems with the borders of the input boxes in my contact page
   here:
 * [http://www.motorward.com/2008/10/contact-us/](http://www.motorward.com/2008/10/contact-us/)
 * Basically the borders aren’t showing and it’s not easy for users to input text
   in there.
 * I know it’s probably a CSS issue, but I’ve tested a lot of stuff and am clueless
   on how to properly fix the thing.
 * Can someone help out with this?
 * Thanks a lot.
 * Bruno

 * Looks like your resets are overriding any default styling… when I inspect the
   element in the browser if you uncheck the border property the fields show up.
   You probably don’t want to remove that reset, as it’s likely needed for other
   things on the site.
 * What have you tried already? I didn’t see any specific styling in your css for
   those inputs.
 * You should be able to use something like:
 * `.wpcf7-form input {border:1px solid #000000;}`
 * or whatever styling you are wanting. Is that what you’ve tried?

 * Use [Firebug](https://getfirebug.com/) or [Chrome Dev Tools](https://developers.google.com/chrome-developer-tools/)
   to examine the HTML and CSS of your CF7 form in detail. Once you understand how
   the HTML and CSS is configured in your CF7 form, you should be able to see the
   CSS changes you need to change the appearance of the form to suit your requirements.

 * [@krissiev](https://wordpress.org/support/users/krissiev/) – That solved the 
   problem, thank you very much!
    I just had to create entries for the textareas
   and img also and everything is perfect.
 * Thanks a Ton!
