Gravity Forms placeholder text color in css

i spent most of yesterday trying  to change the Gravity Forms placeholder text color in css. I got nowhere. Eventually i passed it on  to a friend who worked it out: /* gform placeholders*/ ::-webkit-input-placeholder { color:#FFF; } :-moz-placeholder { opacity: 1; color:#FFF; } /* Firefox 18- */ ::-moz-placeholder { opacity: 1; color:#FFF; } /* firefox 19+ */ :-ms-input-placeholder { color:#FFF; } /* ie */ input:-moz-placeholder { color:#FFF; }   he put this at the end of my style.css. I dont know whether its important to put it at the end or not. I had most of this in  the middle and it didn’t work. But then i mainly use Opera and it still doesn’t work in  that and when i checked in  Firefox i wasn’t using  the opacity line. so maybe it could have worked. I am curious as to whether it only takes the 3 colour number though. Anyway he could me out of a tricky situation. I also spent a long time trying various ids and classes to pinpoint the placeholder – they had no effect.

i spent most of yesterday trying  to change the Gravity Forms placeholder text color in css. I got nowhere.

::-webkit-input-placeholder { color:#FFF; }

::-moz-placeholder { opacity: 1; color:#FFF; } /* firefox 19+ */
:-ms-input-placeholder { color:#FFF; } /* ie */
input:-moz-placeholder { color:#FFF; }

 

he put this at the end of my style.css.
