 * So the submit button works fine unless I add any css to it. Mind you I know little
   about css as I am learning so this could be my mistake. If that is the case I
   would appreciate someone point me in the right direction.

 * I have successfully added other css to the other fields and it works fine but
   when I add it to the submit button such as
 * color:#121211;
    text-decoration:none; margin:10px 30px 0 0; background:#d4d4d4;
   filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr=’#fcfcf9′, endColorstr
   =’#d4d4d4′); background: -webkit-gradient(linear, 0% 0%, 0% 100%, from(#fcfcf9),
   to(#d4d4d4)); background: -moz-linear-gradient(top, #fcfcf9, #d4d4d4); border:
   none; -moz-border-radius:3px; -webkit-border-radius:3px; -0-border-radius:3px;
   border-radius:3px; display:block; padding:10px 25px; text-align:center; font-
   size: 18px; text-shadow:0 1px 0 #d4d4d4; text-transform:uppercase;
 * It stops working. it shows no button.
 * Also on a side note does anyone know how to add space between items. So If I 
   wanted to shift the button lower away from the test field. Any help is appreciated.
   Thank you.

 * Hi fsoto.
 * I’m not sure if you’re still having this problem but I have a solution for this
   is you are still encountering it.
 * If you go into the contact form and then into the submit button section and tick
   the set style option. Once that is ticked give the field css class a name, something
   like submitButt will do.
 * Save that at the top of the page and then go into the appearance tab and then
   the stylesheet tab.
 * Once in there put the class name in that you named the submit button ( in the
   case above it would be `.submitButt {}` ).
 * Make sure you put the full stop in front of it then between the {} copy all of
   your code that you have above into there and it should work fine.
 * As for adding space between items you could use `margin-top: 10px;` or `padding-
   top:` to give you some space between the items.
 * Hope this helps you and anyone else who is running into this problem.

 * Dear jasonDMSQD,
    thank you for your finedescription. Now I have a question. 
   In which php files I have to go if I want to add css to the submit button? There
   are so many. I have searched for hours, but I can´t find where I have to go. 
   Thanks a lot.

 * Thank you
