Some Form Field BG Colors Yellow in IE6 with XP??? 1

[tnsbuff]

Hi,

I just set up a new computer with Windows XP, and I'm working on a form that I had done previously. While viewing it in I.E. 6, I'm noticing that 6 of the text fields are displaying a yellow background (should be white, no color has been specified for them). I've tried other sites with forms and I'm seeing the same thing with "some" of the fields on them as well, though not every field, even though the ones that don't display yellow are also text fields.

This did not appear this way when I was using Win 98, and they didn't display yellow backgrounds in Netscape 6.

Any ideas?

Thanks...

Hi mate,

Do you have some kind of program that auto-fills in forms for you when you visit a website?

That's what this sounds like. Most likely the yellow fields are the fields that this program can auto-fill.

Hope this helps

Uh, would that be the Google toolbar?

This must be a new feature or one that only works with XP because I never had this before, and I had it installed on my other machine.

I turned it off.

Thanks and you get a star!

Hi mate,

I just checked the autofill on the Google toolbar, looks like this might be the culprit as it highlights the fields yellow.

Hope this helps

We posted at the same time.

The autofill works here on 2k3 server, but you need to enable it by filling in details.

Glad you got it fixed.

Hope this helps
