InfoPath Dev

Hi all,

 i have problems styling my people picker controls.

if  i change the shading of my control all looks fine in preview.

but after uploading to the list (it's a list form) the style is not applied....

why? i also tried to change the background colors in the view.xsl stylesheet but nothing happens.

when i check the rendered html of the form there's a div with name upLevelDiv with a background-color style attribute of "window".

i also tried to overwrite this css style by putting inline css to to the view xsl but it won't apply.  Direct changes in firebug on the upLevelDiv  background-style does the changes i need....

any ideas how i can achieve my people picker styling?

thx in advance & cheers

Hi Nibblas86 and welcome,

Nice job spelunking the source and modifying the CSS! If you're using the browser forms - in other words, displaying on a web page, there is a lack of support for special mods. The InfoPath filler will support them, however.  Some stuff will work, but not everything. Sorry for the dead end.

Had the same problem. What i ended up doing is adding a content editor web part or HTML Form web part to the same page as the InfoPath form. To get to that page i right clicked on the add item on the lSharePoint list and selected open in new tab. I then edited the page and added the web part. I chose HTML Form web part because it retains the way your markup looks. I then added the following code: .ms-inputuserfield { background-color: #FEF8D6 !important; }
