Modx css issue not pulling in styles on the form - php

Question

I'm editing a site using Modx cms.
I'm trying to add a contact form to the contact page. I already have one in the sidebar specified in a template. The code on the contact page form points to the same div tags, but it isn't picking up any of the css.
any ideas why this is happening. Do I need some kind of plugin?
Thanks for all your help

Answer 1

There is no reason I can think of for this to happen, and you don't need any plug-ins.
Once the page is rendered it is of course just HTML and it doesn't matter if it was made in modx or any other system.
Can you investigate the page using Firebug and make sure the Stylesheet is loading?
Maybe the form that is working is enclosed in a div with a class and all the styles are set in the style sheet as follows (ie. Children of the containing div)
.enclosingdiv .form-field
That would explain why your form isn't picking up the styles.
Also you should check out eform (Package, wiki) it's great for simple contact forms.
