Hi,

I've been trying to style some <form> elements, but dnn won't accept the external css. Outside of dnn, the code works fine. I have already unloaded portal.css and default.css. Css that is being applied to non-form elements (divs), works fine as well. What am I missing?

 Say for instance that I've got this label I want to style :

<form action="example.ascx" class="request">   

<label for="name">Name:</label>   

</form>

Then why doesn't this css work from an external stylesheet?

.request label {    

float: left;    

color: #FF0000;

}

Thanks a lot!

thanks for replying!

The external style sheet is located in my skin folder and it works fine for everything but form styling. I have placed the css code at the end so it should be overwriting anything that comes before it.

The problem may have to do with the fact that every page generated by DNN seems to be contained in a form already. When I remove the <form> </form> tags from my custom code, then the css applies just fine. 

This seems a bit weird to me because although I understand how nested forms can corrupt form handling, I don't understand how it can mess up css form styling.

I'm now reading up on how to implement forms in dnn modules (I'm quite new at DNN development).
