    Hello,

    I'm using a new template page for a hand-coded contact form.

    I want to add to the theme's existing CSS to style the form, but I can't figure out how to drill down in the style.css to affect the form, labels, input, etc.

    Would appreciate if someone can point me in the right direction.

    Thanks.

    Make sure your selectors have enough weight. Your form is wrapped in an id of contactForm so target it with #contactForm and work from there. Place the css at the bottom of your css.
