CSS Not applied to all items in Artisteer 4.2

I created a form and styled it with CSS in Dreamweaver. I copied the HTML and CSS and pasted them into the appropriate places in my template, which was created in Artisteer 4.2. However, the CSS is not being applied consistently. For example - all of the fields have a 1px red border, but the border appears on only some of the fields. The same thing is happening with field size.

I tested this by previewing in Firefox and Chrome, then uploaded the theme and looked at in after activating. In all cases, the formatting is applied to list/menus and text area fields, but not to standard text fields. This seems kind of odd.

Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Hi Thepipe,
I think it's good idea to contact Artisteer support directly at http://www.artisteer.com/?p=support and provide them with .artx file and link to live site. Also note the places where custom CSS is not applied.

Most likely your custom styles are being overridden by the built in Artisteer styles. You may need to add so me custom css for Artisteer Inputs.

Artistter sets css for specific input fields like the following which I have seen override simple input css.

input[type="text"], input[type="password"], input[type="email"], input[type="url"], textarea

I'll have to look at the CSS. I check with Artisteer support. Unfortunately, I can't provide a URL because the site is inaccessible per the client's request - at least until launch. Artisteer's application of CSS seems to be inconsistent and irrational. I wish they would correct this.

I'm currently waiting for an answer from Artisteer tech support on a similar issue. One beef I have with Artisteer is that it doesn't seem to allow you to add custom id or class styles.

For example, I set the content/table settings to have a 1px border around them. However, I also want to put a couple of tables on my pages without borders. I tested both a custom id and a custom class that I added at the bottom of the Artisteer-generated CSS file. In both cases, the Artisteer-generated style overrode my custom styles. This doesn't make sense to me, but as a web-designer you would want to have that kind of control.

If anyone in this thread knows an answer to this, I would like to know.

if your table id = myable maybe try

table#mytable {border: 0px !important;}

or just #mytable {border:0px !important;}

It is strange
