Author Input form textbox color

I have a form with many fields on it. One of them is a
field to gather an email address. When viewing in IE 6
this is the only field on the form where the background
color of the textbox is yellow. If I change the text to
the left of the textbox to anything other than the
word "Email" - the back color changes to white.
Sample code below.

background color of the textbox is white
<!-- Email address <-->
<tr><td align="left" width="177">Address:</td>
<td align="left" width="308"><input type="text"
name="electronicaddress" size="35"
maxlength="35"></td></tr>

background color of the textbox turns yellow
<!-- Email address <-->
<tr><td align="left" width="177">Email Address:</td>
<td align="left" width="308"><input type="text"
name="electronicaddress" size="35"
maxlength="35"></td></tr>

Do you have the Google Toolbar installed with the Autofill option enabled?
That's what normally causes that.

Good call. That may be it.
I don't have any machines at the moment that doesn't have
the google toolbar loaded. I will check it out.

Thanks Kathleen.

And actually, I think I remember reading here that the thing that causes
the yellow is toolbar's autofill function. If you turn that off, you
should be okay. In other words, you don't need to uninstall the whole
toolbar.

HTH,
Craig
