I'm not really sure which category this should go in.

I'm having trouble figuring out how to turn off the orange/tanish border that shows up whenever you select a text box to start typing in.

I would also like the background color to change to grey while you are typing in these fields instead of blue.

I can see that it is an image to start with for the background with my Inspect Element option but I can't seem to find the textarea option in any of the CSS files or the add CSS area.

Help?

looks like you are using contact form 7 - you should ask the author of that plugin?

It's not from the plugin....its sitewide from what I can see. The comment area at bottom of posts and the email sign up fields do the same thing. I only used that page because it was easy to see it.

Look in the "Style Forms" section of the theme options.

Was able to get the background color changed in there but still can't get rid of the pesky border??

Use a code inspector like Firebug to determine the selector then use CSS to get rid of what you want to. That box is made up of a background image and a border so you may have to play a bit to get the results you want.
