Issue with custom css with select element in a form

Site URL: https://www.technologytrainedbyteens.org/new-page-2

Hello,

I am trying to change the font of the select elements of the form using custom CSS (in my form, where it says January and 1), but I found a confusing result. When I was using the inspect element to find the class to change, I found this ".sqs-block-form .field-list select". The issue is that CSS classes cannot have a space in it. As it is, when I paste those classes exactly into custom css, it does not work. But, when I had a hyphen in to make it ".field-list-select", and add a hyphen in using inspect element, it works fine. How could I make it so that it is permanently fixed?

Thanks for your help.

Which one do you want to target to set style?

Class names as well as other selector types don't have spaces but selectors do. When constructing a ruleset the selector is a hierarchy that tells the browser how to get to what you want to change. A kind of address if you will, like 1234 SE Any Street. 12 34 SE Any Street doesn't make sense but the former does.

.field-list select

This is the element when we select the field-list

Is it the one you want to target?

Try adding to Home > Design > Custom Css

.form-item.field select {
  color: blue;
}
