Hi NG

I hope everybody is doing well.

I have a problem when trying to modify the style of Sharepoint portal server
2003 default style. Some style setting works some other don't. I modified
the ows.css in the folder C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web
server extensions\60\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS\1033\STYLES as mentioned in the SDK
found at
(http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=AA3E7FE5-DAEE-4D10
-980F-789B827967B0&displaylang=en).

Let's say I modify the style .ms-searchform in ows.css to put a Teal
background instead of the regular blue background when I load the page in
frontpage I see my new background color very quickly then it comes back as
the default one. Then I started to look at the css file linked in the page
I figured that there's 3 linked css files (ows.css, menu.css, sps.css) when
I comment out the sps.css link my backgroup will stay Teal, everything else
on the page is fucked up but my background is there so I started to look in
the sps.css for the .ms-searchform tag but I can't find it, so how can it
overwrite the other tag if it's not there? I understand precedence the last
css file loaded will overwrite existing tag in the other files that's fine
but how can it overwrite stuff that is not specified?

Does anyone have a clue?
