Form: some textboxes have a yellow background in browser; seems ra

[Guest]

Designing a form for a new web. Some text box fields have a yellow
background. Seems to be random. Some required boxes are white and others are
yellow. Can't finally publish until I get this fixed. Thanks for any help.

Quite likely you have the Google toolbar installed and it is highlighting
fields.

Although some folks might not like you doing this, but you can add the code
below to stop this from happening for other IE users. Then they may wonder
why the fields aren't yellow.

<!--[if IE]>
<script type="text/javascript">
function killAutofill(){
is = document.getElementsByTagName("INPUT");
for(i=0;i<is.length;i++)
is.style.backgroundColor = "";
ss = document.getElementsByTagName("SELECT");
for(i=0;i<ss.length;i++)
ss.style.backgroundColor = "";
}
window.onload=killAutofill;
</script>
<![endif]-->

I wasn't able to get to the URL you posted, but actually this may not have
anything at all to the way you designed the form. IE (especially if you have
the MSN Search toolbar installed), and other browsers, now often color
certain text boxes a different color to denote a field that they can
typically save information for (such as email address, name, etc...). Please
check the url and try posting it again. Also, since your server is Apache
and I can't tell if it's a Unix version or not, check to make sure that the
case for the filename is correct as Unix systems are case sensitive. I did
go to the formspage.htm page and all the forms off that were correct in IE,
Opera, and Firefox.

Hope this helps,

Dear Mike:
Thanks again for your help. I guess I have to study the Google toolbar some,
and understand what they're doing (and if I want 'em to!).
Cheers,
Gus

Mark, thank you for your help. I got the bonus of learning that the filenames
in Unix are case sensitive. All this time, and that never registered with me!
So the filename is

www.ownerspark.com/FormHome.htm

Thanks again, very much
Gus

Your form fields are not the problem
- the yellow is coming from your Google tool bar

My guess is that MOST folks won't like you doing this. People enable the
AutoFill for a reason - it's for their convenience and you should let it
work the way they want it to work on THEIR machine.

Hi! I was looking through this thread to help me with my problem. I
installed the code you recommended for my page, but it is still yellow.
Perhaps I didn't put the code in the right place on the code design page.
Where exactly should I paste it? Here is the page that has the yellow
fields: http://www.selectasearch.com/EmailYourResume.htm

The yellow is because you most likely have the Goggle Toolbar installed in your browser, this is not
a FP related issue.

yes, you're right!

just go to your Google Toolbar "SETTINGS", then "OPTIONS" and uncheck the
"AUTOFILL" options.

....and yellow field will be...blank and white!
