mysterious yellow backgrounds in text boxes or form fields

I was hired to build a database for this com site, but I
have to build a couple of web pages for them as well.. For
some reason some of the textbox backgrounds are being
colored light yellow while testing in I.E. 5.0. Does
anyone know anything about this? Help?

Do you have the Yahoo Toolbar installed?

Or the Google toolbar, it is frequently the culprit. It will highlight the fields it remembers input for. Your site visitors would only see the yellow if they a auto form filler enabled.

As Thomas stated Yahoo toolbar will do this. Google will as well. There is
nothing you can really do about it as it is a toolbar behavior and not your
forms behavior. The reason they do this is because many toolbars have an
auto-fill feature. I think you can turn it off but many users don't.
