Textbox Background Color

[Mark Sandfox]

How do you control the color of a textbox background color? I have an issue
that when a user is viewing a form in the same version of IE 6 and operating
system but a differenet computer they get a yellow background on SOME of the
textboxes while other remain white. Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi,

I found I had this problem ocassionally due to having the Google toolbar
installed with the Highlight or AutoFill options (not sure which it was)
turned on for the user's machine.

I am willing to bet they have the Google toolbar installed, which by default
changes input controls with particular id's to yellow to show them as
required fields. Usually id's that have to do with last name, first name,
city, state, zip, etc.

is there a way to override this feature from the design end?

Not that I am aware of. The user has to shut this feature off in the google
toolbar. Google will do this for all web pages, oddly someone over there
thought it was a good idea.

What you can do however, is give your controls names such that the google
toolbar won't think it should make them yellow. You might have to experiment
a bit, to see exactly what kind of naming will allow you to bypass the
feature.
