Many times while surfing on the internet, i come across some fields that becomes yellow in the forms that i need to fill up. For example, when i go to the login page of Gmail, the userID field always shown in yellow color. I just want to disable this yellow auto complete form fields. Please help me. How to do so ?

Most probably those autocomplete yellow fields are cause of Google Toolbar.On the toolbar there is an “auto fill” option. This tells the user that they can use this option to auto fill certain fields on your form. That will 'helpfully' highlight form fields with certain names such as 'email' or 'name'. Simple just uninstall the Google Toolbar to fix this problem.

In case you need Google toolbar and don't want those yellow fields than alternatively go to Settings of the Toolbar and select Options. Now go to Autofill and click the “Autofill Settings”. Now just uncheck the box that is in front of 'Highlight fields' at the bottom. Thats it..

This is a feature of Google Toolbar that it automatically highlights the fields (e.g. name, email etc.) in the yellow background color which facilitate the user to autocomplete the specified field.Any code used to set the background color of textbox will fail in following conditions (regardless of run time or design time):

• Specifying BackColor
  
• Specifying background-color in CSS or Style attribute.

The one and only perfect way to do is :

• Specify a CSS class for the textbox, e.g.

.txtNameStyle

{

font-size:12px;

height:13px;

border-style:none;

background-color: #666666 !important;

color:#ffffff;

}

• Now declare the text box control so that it looks like this :

<asp:TextBox ID=”txtName” runat=”server” CssClass=”txtNameStyle” Width=”219px”></asp:TextBox>
