Angry IE Coloring Form Fields without asking!
Does anyone know why IE colors in certain form fields automatically and how to STOP it? I have changed the form field names, changed the style attributes, and changed the class. The form fields continue to have yellow backgrounds. Grrr... Please help.

What colour is it colouring them? Yellow?

You most likely have the google toolbar installed. That colours fields it can fill in for you. Just disable it.

AFAIR Internet Explorer uses your Desctop Theme's colors by deflaut. SO if you have a yellow background in every windows' windows u'll always get a yellow form background while browsing the web.

Maybe there is an option in IE to turn that off? donno - don't use it

Regards
Lichurec

PS
Please correct me if I am wrong

No problem

I do use Win(XP) but don't realy like the way it behaves, so.. Just change the browser (I strongly recommend FireFox) and everything will be ok

Well, part of the reason this post came about is because I don't normally use IE. I only use it at work because my admin won't let me install Mozilla (my browser of choice). At home, my default browser is set to Mozilla.
