 * Take a look at the comment section of a blog post on my website.
    [http://teamsofttech.com/?p=356](http://teamsofttech.com/?p=356)
 * the comment bgimage seems to be defined in a [http://teamsofttech.com/?p=356.css](http://teamsofttech.com/?p=356.css)
   stylesheet rather than the style.css
 * I have found the declarations for this element in the actual style.css but making
   changes to this to not affect this particular element.
 * Other random elements throughout the site have the same problem.
 * I only have one stylesheet, style.css. How is this other one being generated?
 * I’m super confused. and can’t change my permalink structure because it is breaking
   this image.

 * I don’t see a background image in the comment section.
    You do have five plugins
   that are loading their own stylesheets, though.
 * JavaScript can also override your CSS, too.

 * here is a screenshot of the image in question.
 * this is what firebug tells be about the image. notice where the css is defined,
   in teamsofttech.com #5 (line 329).
 * My original question was, where is this css file or how is being generated.
 * textarea {
    background: url(“images/txtareea.png”) no-repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;
   border: medium none; color: #666666; height: 112px; margin: 0; padding-bottom:
   10px; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 12px; width: 317px; } teamsofttech.

 * Those are inline styles. The contact form is using the same styles. Check footer.
   php or whichever template is generating the footer for inline styles.
 * You can override this style with greater specificity, btw.

 * Awesome – Thanks Josh…..
 * It was from some inline styling in the footer. Problem was the style was also
   defined in my style.css.
 * Thanks for pointing me in the right direction! 😀
