RE: [WSG] input/text random background color in IE?
Hi Vaska, Could it be that you have the Google seearch bar installed on your browser? It automatically highlights fields that it can complete using the AutoFill feature. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Vaska.WSG Sent: Tuesday, 28 June 2005 1:58 AM To: wsg@webstandardsgroup.org Subject: [WSG] input/text random background color in IE? Why is it that IE turns the background of some input/text elements to light yellow? I can't find any information as to why or how it's doing this...and I want to stop it. Anybody know what this is about?

Re: [WSG] input/text random background color in IE?
o, autofill...i bet it has to do with how i name my form elements... ok, then it makes sense and 'no', i wouldn't want to turn that off. i don't see it actually, i'm on a mac. when i'm on a pc testing stuff i see this though and i've always wondered what it is... the mystery has been demystified...thanks...

Keep in mind when you "want to stop" normal behavior of the browser, if you succeed then people that expect that behavior will become disoriented and perhaps will believe that your site is broken. In essence, the answer to your question may be "IE turns some input/text elements to light yellow because the user wants them that way." You haven't given us enough background to understand if this general rule applies to your circumstance. I'm not sure about IE, but Safari does this to indicate which fields were filled in by the auto-fill and which the user had modified. Without this distinction, the users may submit more incomplete or inaccurate forms. -- Ben Curtis : webwright bivia : a personal web studio http://www.bivia.com v: (818) 507-6613 ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ** ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help **
