Some text boxes ...

[v8central]

Some text boxes seem to have a mind of their own in relation to the background color they use.  When I'm changing my profile on this site "some" of the boxes have a yellowih background.  I'm customising the CSS on my new site and I have the same problem but because I am using a black page and white text the values are impossible to read on yellow.

Why do these textboxes defy the CSS rules ?

If you can post a link to your site with specifics on which "text boxes" you are refering to, it would help a lot.

It could be that no class has been defined for the "box" in question, or that it has been overwritten with a style= parameter in the php file itself.  Hard to say.

It's the new gallery at www.laurengray.com

My testing page is : http://www.laurengray.com/gallery/tester.php (I moved the name after the comments)
Same problem here : http://www.laurengray.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=8&pos=8

and the same problem on this site here : http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php?action=profile;u=17848;sa=forumProfile - ICQ is fine, but AIM, MSN, YIM are yellow backgrounds.

I just can't see how it works like this.

Hi there,

I noticed this problem when showing a friend my own website on their home computer.  It must be something like a rendering error on certain setups.  I noticed it on IE6 but not with Firefox.  I don't get the problem and your site looks fine on my own computer.  Can you try another computer to be sure?  Can you try Firefox or Opera?

Regards
Steve.

looks fine on mine as well,

try clearing your cache.. or Ctrl +F5 to force a refresh if on IE.

AH!!!! .... Firefox on this computer works fine, IE6 on another computer works fine. IE6 on this computer is stuffed ... but only on certain textboxes.  I still don't know the answer, but at least I can ignore it and move on now

Probably old cookies and cached files.

It might be the Google Toolbar highlighting the text fields that could be autofilled or something. If you have it, you should be able to change the setting for it.

BINGO !!!! ... I would NEVER have thought of that, but that was the answer 

I don't think I'll forget that one in a hurry, and it explains why the yellow textboxes were in weird places on different forms.

Problem solved, and thanks again
