I think you are running into a Web2py feature resulting in your custom background-color being overruled/overwritten.
In /static/js/web2py.js: /* javascript for PasswordWidget*/ $('*input[type=password][data-w2p_entropy]*', target).each(function () { web2py.validate_entropy($(this)); }); and: ... validate_entropy: function (myfield, req_entropy) { if(myfield.data('w2p_entropy') != undefined) req_entropy = myfield.data('w2p_entropy'); var validator = function () { var v = (web2py.calc_entropy(myfield.val()) || 0) / req_entropy; var r = 0, g = 0, b = 0, rs = function (x) { return Math.round(x * 15).toString(16) }; if(v <= 0.5) { r = 1.0; g = 2.0 * v; } else { r = (1.0 - 2.0 * (Math.max(v, 0) - 0.5)); g = 1.0; } var color = '#' + rs(r) + rs(g) + rs(b); *myfield.css('background-color', color);* entropy_callback = myfield.data('entropy_callback'); if(entropy_callback) entropy_callback(v); } if(!myfield.hasClass('entropy_check')) myfield.on('keyup', validator).on('keydown', validator).addClass('entropy_check'); }, ... For this specific input field you could add some additional CSS that should overrule the background-color by using !important: #no_table_new_password { background-color: #FFFFFF !important; } On Wednesday, December 11, 2013 10:50:16 AM UTC+1, Annet wrote: > > Where do I change the setting of the background-color of the new_password > field? > > <input type="password" value="" placeholder="" name="new_password" > id="no_table_new_password" data-w2p_entropy="null" class="password > entropy_check" style="background-color: rgb(187, 255, 0);"> > > In Firebug it is an element.style {} property that overrides any setting I > do in an external css. > > > Kind regards, > > Annet > > > -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
