Question

I’m trying to set a background color to the HTML form tag, but it doesn’t work?! I thought it was a simple task!

#form {
    background-color: #000;
    padding: 10px;
}

Answer 1

Can we just see the HTML code of your form? Maybe there’s a class you’re using that conflicts with your #form declaration.

Also, if you want the “form block” to have a background, put it inside a div and background it.

If you want to give a background to the form inputs, you should give a style to the input objects

#form input{
  background-color: #000;
}

#form input .submit{ ... }

#form label { ... }

And so on.
