newsletter subscribe mod and css

[tatiana77]

Hiya,

Looks like it's been a while for posting on this thread... wondering if I'd get a reply, hope so!

I followed the abovementionned instructions to change the color background behind the subscribe box lettering. I also added the forgotten </div> at the bottom of my tpl_subscribe.php as such:

$content = '';
$content .= '<div id="subscribeBox">';
$content .= zen_draw_form('subscribe', zen_href_link(FILENAME_SUBSCRIBE, '', 'SSL'), 'post', '');
$content .= zen_draw_hidden_field('act', 'subscribe');
$content .= zen_draw_hidden_field('main_page',FILENAME_SUBSCRIBE);
$content .= ' <label>'. (empty($subscribe_text) ? '' : $subscribe_text);
$content .= ' &nbsp;' . zen_draw_input_field('email', '', 'size="18" maxlength="30" style="width: ' .
($column_width-30) . 'px" value="' . HEADER_SUBSCRIBE_DEFAULT_TEXT .
'" onfocus="if (this.value == \'' . HEADER_SUBSCRIBE_DEFAULT_TEXT . '\') this.value = \'\';"');
$content .= '</label>';
if(EMAIL_USE_HTML == 'true') {
$content .= ' <br /> <label>' . zen_draw_radio_field('email_format', 'HTML', true) . ENTRY_EMAIL_HTML_DISPLAY . '</label>';
$content .= ' <label style="white-space:nowrap">' . zen_draw_radio_field('email_format', 'TEXT', false) . ENTRY_EMAIL_TEXT_DISPLAY . '</label>';
}

$content .= ' <br />' . zen_image_submit (BUTTON_IMAGE_SUBSCRIBE,HEADER_SUBSCRIBE_BUTTON, 'value="' . HEADER_SUBSCRIBE_BUTTON . '" ');

$content .= '</form>';
$content .= '</div>';
?>

Que pasa?

Is there a problem, or are you just letting us know that it works as you have shown? If it works, great!

Wish I could say it works... I just posted the info to clarify if I corrected it properly. Here's a screenshot of what I mean

I'd like the entire content to be baby blue..

Since the link text is on top of a blue element, the only reason its background isn't the same is that it has beed styled with a different background. It is most likely covered by a generic link class.
The fix is to find the class or identifier that is assigned to it (possibly <label> - should be visible in view source) and style labels in the subscribe div to have no background.

label#subscribeBox {background-color: transparent;)

or something like this.

hi

I know this forum hasn't had a message for a while, but I am trying to change the same thing, the background colour from white. I just cannot find where to change this code.

Please help
