Custom CSS Styles for Form Inputs and Textareas

Reset Styles

We start with a CSS reset to ensure consistency across browsers and explicitly set properties for input and textarea elements.

Text Input and Textarea Styles

We use a CSS class to style the input types of text, password, and textarea, including font properties, border styles, and background colors. We also add a focus state with a contrasting border color and optional highlighting.

File Input Styles

File inputs cannot be fully styled, but we provide a CSS reset to allow our custom font to be used. We also add a hint to indicate the un-editable nature of the field.

Customizing Styles

We provide instructions for customizing the input and file input styles, including changing the border color and adding an error state.
