Background

My html form for some reason is horizontal. Also, it has a white background that I cannot get rid off. How do I get rid of the white background, and make the form vertical.

<form id="Form">
            <input type="text" name="name" placeholder="Your name goes here..."/><br>
            <input type="email" name="name" placeholder="Email"/><br>
            <textarea name="message" placeholder="Anything you would like to tell us? It could even be about your dog, or imaginary dragon"></textarea><br>
            <input type="submit" value="send"/>

Hi Steven,

You can make the form vertical by applying display: block; to the form. you can also change the background color by applying background-color: red;

form {
  display: block;
  background-color: red; /* or which ever color you'd like */
}

Let me know if that helped :)

P.S

Stone is right we do need to see your code to know exactly what is the issue.
