I've tried to find how to modify the form field but have not been able to
i know that in my CSS file i could have
input {
whatever
}
but this also affects the "buttons" which i want to have a diff look
so if i was to create diff css for diff field, how to I add the CSS to them? for example, how do you add css to {$submit} and/or {$entry->input}

Re: CMS 1.4.1/Form Builder 0.5.3/adding diff css to diff field types
I found some post that suggested looking at the source code of a page. When I looked at the source code of the page I was trying to modify, I found that the "button" I was trying to change instead of looking like:
but for the (input type="text") fields there was no CSS in the source code. I know i can change them by "input {css}|" but this would also affect check boxes, radio button, etc which i would like to leave as they are. So how do i add CSS ONLY to (input type="text")?
help!!!
thanks in advance 
it now looked like:{$submit}
is there a CSS file out there that contains this class? since I couldn't find it, I added the following to my main CSS and... it worked:
will this now make ALL but submit buttons in ALL forms look the same, or will I have to create a CSS for each form's submit button?.fbsubmit {
font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial;
font-weight: bold;
text-transform: uppercase;
color: #FFFFFF;
background-color: #b8d645;
border: none;
font-size: 11px;
padding-left: 5px;
padding-right: 5px;
}
but for the (input type="text") fields there was no CSS in the source code. I know i can change them by "input {css}|" but this would also affect check boxes, radio button, etc which i would like to leave as they are. So how do i add CSS ONLY to (input type="text")?

When making form you have the optin of adding class to every field you make so it will let you target just those instead of all input, textareas, etc...

as far as "buttons" i just checked the above CSS i had added to my main CSS file and it works for all submit buttons.
