When providing a background color for an input (even an autofill applicable input), FF displays the background color fine, whilst IE insists on using the cream that Google dictates an autofill input must be. Workaround: CSS: use a 1px background image for the input. Make a gif 1px X 1px with the color that you want your inputs to be and use CSS to style that input: input { background: #ff0000 url(images/input.gif); } sorted :) Hey guys

I'm glad I found this in my referrers list. I do indeed know a way around this and I'll be implementing it as soon as possible. Thanks :) Ah. I'm glad I found this in my referrers list.

If it wants to color the background yellow that's fine with me but... it should make the text dark as well then ;) This would be my advice to the creators of this tool. It's kinda weird to not be able to 'go dark' anymore just because of such a tool in my humble opinion. To be honest I feel this wasn't my fault really but it's this autofiller-thing's fault.
