Forms question

[plevans]

Would someone please have a look at the code for my form at http://fenceprotool.com/contact.html and explain why the Email Address input area is yellow in IE6?

Thanks,
Patti

Just looked at it in IE6 and it's not yellow for me.

This happened to a client of mine a while back - they reported yellow fields and I coudn't reproduce the problem.

Turns out it was some browser plugin or Norton product that was installed on their machine that was highlighting certain form fields with yellow.

Sorry I don't remember the details, but maybe that's enough to help you track it down.

I have seen this before. From what I understand - this has something to do with IE, Google toolbar, and auto complete, that causes the text boxes to become yellow. It only occurs with this browser combination.

Thanks for looking.

The possibility of Norton causing this would *not* surprise me. I have come to hate it more each day! I will be unstalling it this week when my subscription runs out and switching to something that causes less problems.

Just installed the latest google toolbar for firefox 2.0 and am seeing the name and email form fields yellow now as well.

You can uncheck "highlight" under the google toolbar Options button -> Auto Fill Options at the bottom.

I have seen this before as well and the Google Toolbar was the culprit. Basically the yellow is indicating a field that the toolbar can auto-complete. After realizing it was a plug-in I didn't bother further, but I believe there is a way to specify that a field value should not be auto-completed and thus not yellow.
