Yep what I posted above did exactly what I thought it would; it blacked out my my contact form.

.custom input, textrea{
background: none;

However I finally figured out what I needed to do! (looks like I need to take CSS-101)

In my custom.css file I have added this line at the end:
.custom .paypal_image { border:none; background:transparent; width:auto; }

Then I added class="paypal_image to the HTML code inside the PayPal <form>

<input type="image" class="paypal_image" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_cart_LG.gif" height="26" width="120" border="0" name="submit" alt="PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online!">
<img alt="" border="0" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" height="1">
</form>

.custom input, textarea {
background:none;
border:none;
}

Well I have returned failing to find the CSS string you showed me. Where is that bit located?

I plan to change background:#EEEEEE to background:#000000 but that seems like it may cause issues since this bit is about input, textarea

Is there a better way to handle this issue than what I have suggested?

Thanks again!

esmi,

Thanks for the quick response! I will give it a go.

ESMI,

I had the same issue and your suggestion to use input[type=image] {width:auto;} in the css file worked brilliantly. The PayPal button image now displays with the correct/native size.

Thanks!
