title: I'm trying to recolour a text box on my wordpress site, but my code only works when the text area has focus
body: <p>I'm trying to recolour the wordpress comments text box on my site. The following code gets me close...</p>
  <pre><code>.comment-respond input:not([type=&quot;submit&quot;]),
  .comment-respond textarea { 
      background-color: #666666;
  }
   
  .comment-respond input:not([type=&quot;submit&quot;]):focus,
  .comment-respond textarea:focus {
      background-color: #666666;
  }
  </code></pre>
  <p>...but the problem I'm having is that the code only works when the text area has focus. I'm not looking to have the area change colour at all. I think I must be using the &quot;not&quot; property wrong, but no other variation I've tried has got me so close.</p>
  <p>Any help with this would be greatly appreciated, thank you.</p>
