I am noticing that textboxes are rendered with a yellow background when viewing in Firefox as opposed to the intended white background when using IE7. I have been googling this issue for a while now to find out if there is a CSS hack around it but not having any luck.

Several toolbars for both IE and FireFox will color textboxes yellow if they think they can fill in the information for you. Try disabling all of your toolbars (especially Google, Yahoo, etc) to see if the yellow goes away. |

Thanks Andy...that was it. So it was a bell and whistle rather than a bug.  Good news for me.

Is there any quick way to override this?

Scott,
I just unchecked the option in Firefox that read "Highlight fields in Web Page that Autofill can update in yellow". At the time I was not familiar with FF and didn't know this option existed. Hope this helps.

corpguy,
i was referring to the other way around - overriding for ALL end users - not just me.....
thanks for the idea - sure it will help someone along the road.

Try a
input {background: #fff !important;}
in your stylesheet to see if overrides the browser functionality. |

I would imagine that you will irritate a few people if you override that. I personally want my yellow boxes so I know when I can autofill...that's WHY the setting is there...
I just don't think messing with things the user has set on their machine is a good idea. why not just blow open a full-screen no UI browser and take over my whole PC, since you want to disable my browser settings anyway...same diff.
just my opinion. It's a tiny thing but it's also a tiny thing I choose to use and I'm sure if others didn't use it they wouldn't have thought to program it into the browser...so just consider that. |
