Autocomplete and CSS display

[moltar]

hi,
i know that Google Toolbar's Autocomplete will try to be "helpful" and make certain fields have a yellow background. unfortunately, this is really impacting the CSS presentation on many of my websites. i'd like to somehow avoid the autocomplete's CSS domination, even if it means disabling it's functionality on my specific webforms.

*note that i am not trying to change my own experience, but that of regular website visitors. i already know that i can disable this effect on my local machine. what i'm trying to do is hide this visual effect to website visitors that come to my sites.*

i've tried putting

autocomplete="off"

into my <form tag, to no avail.

i've also tried changing my text input's name field to something like "goober" and it still is retaining that nasty yellow style.

does anyone out there have a workaround for autocomplete's garrish effect?

thanks!
keith

You can't. Your users are allowed to choose a browser (or a plugin, addon, toolbar on that browser) that displays the elements the way their browser wants to.
