try just p.error for those 3.

css rules get assigned a priority. If the other rules in your code are being used, but those few lines are not, then you should try to increase the value for the selector (.formbody p.error). You do that by making it more precise (like adding another element or id: "body .formbody p.error" or "#someID .formbody p.error")

But before you change the selector you can make the individual rules and make them more important:

Code:

---

.formbody p.error {
  height:10px;
  margin:3px 2px 0;
  padding-left:20px !important;
  background-color:#ba4141;
  font-weight:bold;
  font-size:1.2em !important;
  color:#2200ff !important;
}
