How to put box around text area

  • This is a general question, not theme-specific as I have too many sites and themes on each. I’d like a line or box around the text area. I think this would be in each CSS file. What do I look for and what do I add?

  • with outline

    HTML

    <p class="text_style">This is a paragraph.</p>

    CSS

    .text_style {
outline: 1px solid #000;
}

    Name the style as desired. The thickness, style and color work the same as border.

    Can be applied to any element.

    Thanks. If I read this correctly, I locate the HTML part then add the CSS under it. Where would I insert the name?

    I need to find a color that complements each theme but thickness and style will be the same.

    Since CSS was never my forte even when coding, am I right that this above goes in a file and not the CSS file?

    I’m now (as opposed to five minutes ago) thinking that the HTML goes in X file (gimme a hint!) and the CSS goes in the General CSS file.

    I’m thinking this to death. Time to sit back and wait.
