Problem With Formatting Forms

[jrsweets]

I have this page on my site.

However, it seems in internet explorer whenever I name a form input field "Name", "Email" or "Email Address" the color of the input field background turns yellow. I can't figure it out. I have tried everything. When the page is viewed in Mozilla the color looks fine, however I get the yellow color in IE.

 

Any thoughts?

 

My css style sheet is located at http://www.jeffrusso.net/style.css

 

Thanks in advance.

I looked at the page with IE and I didn't notice any background color difference. I've attached a screen shot.

I've tried on three different computers. What version of IE are you running? When the page first loads it loads with gray color, then when finished it changes to the yellow.

I am using IE6 with all available updates installed on a Windows 98 machine.

 

I also checked using IE6 from and NT4 workstation and no yellow background appeared.

Your form looks good to me, using IE 6.

 

As a matter of fact I tried your form to see if the background would change to yellow after submitting the mail and they did not.

Thank you everyone for the help.

 

I have noticed that other sites that have forms do the same thing. I am using IE6 on Win2000, and WinXP. The forms on other sites first appear one color and then change to the yellow that is in my attachment. Maybe OS, or a setting in IE. I tried it in Mozilla and the yellow is not there. Very strange.

 

I was able to check on a Windows 98 machine with IE6 and all the updates. The yellow does not appear. It must have something to do with either Windows2000, XP, or some setting in IE.

If you have a "form filler" enabled for your browser (something that will auto fill out forms if they recoginize the fields based on previous entries), they will often change form fields to yellow of fields that it recognizes.

 

I haven't seen that for IE (don't really use IE), but have seen that for other browsers when it attempts to autofill fields.

I get the same thing on my forms as well. IE6 on XP Pro, all the bells and whistles and updates and I do NOT use auto-complete. It is really annoying, especially when the color scheme isn't even close.

 

I've been trying to find out the "why's" on this for a while - i'll keep looking

That did it. I have a google toolbar installed on all the computers that I tried it on except the win98 machine. When I remove the toolbar the yellow goes away. The google toolbar has an autofill form built in.

 

I would like to thank everyone for the time and effort that they put into helping me out. THANKS. Rock Sign
