Some textfields in IE are Yellow colored and some arent

[Chris Hyzer]

Is this a passport thing? As you browse, you notice some
textifelds are yellow and some arent. e.g.

http://edit.yahoo.com/config/eval_register?.v=&.intl=&new=
1&.done=&.src=ym&.partner=&.p=&promo=&.last=

If a field is yellow, no style can be applied to it, and
our app needs to turn fields red to show the user where
errors are. I sliced up the HTML to see why this is
happening, and look at this page:

On my screen with IE it looks like this:

If you study it closely, any textfield in a table cell
where in the table cell to the left, the
word "name", "phone", "zip", etc are there, the field
will be yellow. Maybe this is an autofill passport
thing. Bottom line, I want to know what to change in the
HTML (I cant change everyone's browser's settings) to
make this not happen. As a workaround if I put a
textfield in its own table:

<table><tr><td><input type="text></td></tr></table>

Then it will work (I hope HTML shows up here). Any ideas?

Thanks,
Chris

The yellow field is caused by the autofill option of the Google toolbar you
are using. You can disable the autofill in the toolbar's options.
