I have a client that says they are seeing yellow fields in the html forms that I have been developing. I've viewed them in Firefox, Safari and IE7 and don't see any yellow. Is this one of those dreaded IE 6 or lower "quirks"?

Thanks!

I had the same issue. According to HTMLdog, the culprit is the Google Toolbar, that widget thing that you download from Google that adds a search box and some other stuff to Internet Explorer.

There is an 'AutoFill' option on the Google Toolbar (switched on by default), that will 'helpfully' highlight form fields with certain names such as 'email' or 'name'. Read about it here:
