On a Windows XP system why do some text boxes show up with an orange background instead of white.

@nbcrockettauthorDec 08.2006 — I've got quite a few webpages with forms and some are ok while others aren't. The ones that aren't have some text boxes with white backgrounds and some with orange backgrounds. The settings aren't different between the two.

@nbcrockettauthorDec 08.2006 — What about the names should I be looking for?

@ray326Dec 09.2006 — The names of the inputs. Look for correlations between names and box color.

@nbcrockettauthorDec 10.2006 — There's no color assigned to these text boxes and their names are things like "txtPhone1" and "txtEmailAddress".
[CODE]
<input type="text" name="txtPhone1" size="3" maxlength="3" tabindex="5">
<input type="text" name="txtEmailAddress" size="25" maxlength="50" tabindex="11">
[/CODE]

If it finds them it will highlight them. If you make the names of your inputs more unique then they won't get highlighted for example these won't get filled in
&lt;input type="text" name="txtPh1" size="3" maxlength="3" tabindex="5"&gt;
&lt;input type="text" name="txtEA" size="25" maxlength="50" tabindex="11"&gt;

@nbcrockettauthorDec 11.2006 — I use the same names on all my pages and different ones show up orange on other pages. If I go to another computer the ones that were orange on mine aren't on the other. Is it just a random fluke that it recoginizes these as common phrases? Is there a list anywhere that tells you what these common phrases are?

Success!
