Hi

This has got me beat - I must be getting senile!

Check out this simple form....

Why the heck do the 2 middle text fields have a canary-yellow fill?



Code: 
<html>
<body>
<table border="0" cellpadding="20" cellspacing="0" width="650">
      
<tr>       
<td width="100%">
<form action="/cgi-bin/cgiemail"  name="cat" method="post">
<table border="0" cellspacing="0" width="80%">


  <tr>

<td align="right" width="30%">
First Name :
</td>

<td width="50%">
<input type="text" size="50" maxlength="256" name="FirstName">
</td>

  </tr>


  <tr>

<td align="right" width="30%">
Address :
</td>

<td width="50%">
<input type="text" size="50" maxlength="256" name="Addr">
</td>

  </tr>
  <tr>

<td align="right" width="30%">
Post / ZIP :
</td>

<td width="50%">
<input type="text" size="50" maxlength="256" name="PostZIP"> 
</td>

  </tr>

  <tr> 
 
<td align="right" width="30%">
Fax :
</td>

<td width="50%">                                            <input type="text" size="50" maxlength="256" name="Fax"> 
</td>

  </tr>

</table>

<input type="submit" value="Submit Request"> 
<br />
<input type="reset" value="Clear Form">

</form>

</td>
</tr>

</table>
</body>
</html>

Please tell me I'm not going mad!

Thanks in advance....

OK, so I am having a bad day - sorry.

Here's what happened --

I added Google toolbar to my IE6

Google highlights some fields for auto-fill
and it was automatically highlighting those middle 2 fields.

Only just remembered I'd added the Google bit, and haven't yet got used to all its little foibles.

Back to your 'real' work folks , sorry.

Ahh.. I noticed this too with some forms I was making. I figured it denoted auto fill or something.

Weird thing is, I have had the Google bar installed for some time (months and months) and have only noticed this in the last couple of weeks.

Has there been a surreptitious update of the Google bar?

The google toolbar does update itself occasionally and you can turn off the autofill highlighting on the Option -> More tab

The only time that it passes back any information is if you have the PageRank display on or the Google category displayed.

Indifference will be the downfall of mankind, but who cares?
