some form elements getting a peach background in IE

IE never seems to confuse me. This time it’s with form elements. And this time it’s totally even more bazzaar than anything I’ve ever had to deal with.

When I create a form some of the elements get a peachy background while others have a white background. Usually the first two get the peach background and the rest are white. Here’s my code:

<form name=”testForm” id=”testForm” action=”test.php” method=”post”>
<input type=”text” name=”firstName” id=”firstName” /><br />
<input type=”text” name=”lastName” id=”lastName” /><br />
<input type=”text” name=”middleInit” id=”middleInit” /><br />
<input type=”text” name=”occupation” id=”occupation” /><br />
</form>

What’s going on? How do I fix this? I’ve tried setting the background-color to specifically white like this:

<style>
input {
background-color: #ffffff;
}
</style>

but still getting the peach background.
