I am trying to set the background color of a text input and it doesn’t work. I’ve tried the following:

$w('#ins').style.backgroundColor = "#FF00FF";
$w('#ins').style.foregroundColor = "#00FF00";
$w('#ins').style.color = "#555500";

I’ve put this in my onReady function. The only color I see is the foreground color. Am I doing something wrong, or does WIX code somewhere override my code?

Thanks!

Your code is fine (but I don’t think a textbox has a a foreground).
The background and color (which is the font color) should work.

Ok, but the background color doesn’t. So, does WIX code somewhere override my code?

J. D. is correct, you can’t use foreground colour on text box, it is only used on a progress bar.

Ok, thanks. But my question is about the background color. I used those 3 to see which ones appeared in the text box. How do I change the color of the whole text box?

@wixrunner22 Use the background, exactly as you wrote above.
And be sure you used the TextBox (which is an input element) and not just Text.
