On certain fields in my rails forms the backgrounds are yellow. If I
check the page source there is no clue as to why. However, if I save
the page to disk and then open it in a text editor I can see that the
affected fields are like:
<input style=“background-color: rgb(255, 255, 160);”
id=“contact_first_name” name=“contact[first_name]” size=“30” value=“Tim”
.type=“text”>
How/Why are some of these appearing like this? It only seems to happen
in Firefox, not Internet Explorer so perhaps it’s some browser
“feature”. But what are the rules? Why only some fields?
Baffled…

Something to do with the Google toolbar?
