Date, Search, Location in Italic?

[Lars]

Hi
Why are “Date, Search and Location” headings showning in “Italic” style in Safari and Chrome browser, but not in Firefox? How do we set these headings to “normal” style?

Hi!

That’s just the default style of those browsers for input placeholders. You could normalize it, but would need to add different rules for different browsers. Some good links to review:

• Our themer’s guide
• Chris Coyier’s article on styling placeholders

Does that help at all?

Hi
I understand but the placeholder don’t have a “font-style: italic;” showing, so I wonder how/where the “italic” style is set in order for me to change it?

[Barry]

No it doesn’t, so what you are probably seeing are the browser defaults shining through and if you want to mask those, or set specific styles for consistency across browsers, you would need to add additional rules to that effect. We’ve got a useful guide to adding event-specific CSS in our own Themer’s Guide (link over in the right) but it may not be inappropriate to set things up to work theme-wide in this instance.

Does that clarify things?

[Lars]

Resolved by hiding “Event Search Bar” and “Location search”.

Closing this thread as it’s been quite a while – of course if we can help with anything else please do create a new thread. Thanks!
