Is there a way to make the text that is shown in a in\_place\_editor\_field  
appear red? Also is there a way to change the color when I hover over  
the text? Thanks,

-S

Look at the source of the page that you’re placing the  
in\_place\_editor\_field onto.

There’s probably a class=“in\_place\_select\_field” or something similar  
that you can use in your CSS to style the field however you want.

The place I copied from in my own application is from an  
Ajax.InPlaceCollectionEditor so you probably have something like  
class=“in\_place\_text\_field”
