Form CSS shows in Preview, but not on Landing Page

All,

I'm sure this has been asked a million times before, but I have searched without success.

Firstly, I acknowledge I'm a massive n00b when it comes to CSS (sorry folks).

I've tweaked a form with the basic theme (it seemed the safest place to start), and then added in custom CSS on the basic theme . 

When I preview the form, I can see my CSS changes.

I close and approve the form, but when I view the form in a test landing page my CSS isn't present.

What blindingly obvious step am I missing?

Cheers

Jo

All,

I've just answered my own question. 

You have to edit the landing page, then approve and close.

Magically that makes things work.

I had presumed that the form was simply embedded and therefore changes would flow through automagically.  Apparently not!

Cheers

Re: Form CSS shows in Preview, but not on Landing Page

Right, when you use a named Form element on an LP, the LP contains a secondary replica of the form that's not necessarily the same as the approved version of the form in Form Editor.

When you use embedded Marketo forms (either on non-Marketo pages or on Marketo-hosted LPs, though the latter is not recommended) then the approved form is used immediately, without a need to touch the LP as well.
