Weird Problem displaying web forms in Internet Explorer

I've had this problem in two web forms now. It is really bugging the crap out of me. This is an IE problem only - works fine in Firefox.

Here's what is happening with a webform I'm creating for gathering info for a generating quotes:



And here's what I'm getting with my vBulletin registration page:



Is there some sort of script I can place in the header info to make these display properly and have maximum compatibility with IE? I have IE version 6.0.2800.1106.xpsp2.030422-1633IC, but I'm guessing others have this version also since some of my users are experiencing the same issue with the forms. I use Firefox and have had zero issues...

See how a few of the fields are yellow? I don't want that.

yellows might be due to google toolbar's auto complete thingee...

he hit the nail on the head... nothing you can do about it... short of ditching your toolbar.

I noticed that got installed somehow in IE. I guess that only folks with IE and the google toolbar have he problem then? I guess I have to use dark color text to overcome it...

Go into options on the google toolbar.
Click the autofill settings button.
Uncheck the box that says "highlight fields on webpages that autofill can update in yellow".

Hopefully that should get rid of it.
