Why do you sometimes see yellow forms fields on web sites?
What are they and why are they there?
The answer is Google Toolbar. If you have Google Toolbar installed and the AutoFill option enabled, Google will remember your personal information so that it can automatically populate form fields for you. Fields such as name, address and phone will all turn yellow if AutoFill is turned on - the default setting.
Although it is good useability for these fields to be highlighted in some way, as a web designer you may not want yellow form fields on your web page for aesthetic reasons.
So, how do you override it…?

Colin Moock’s next book, Essential ActionScript 3.0, is now complete. It’s due to ship sometime in June, but you can read the entire manuscript through O’Reilly’s “Rough Cuts” service.
I find that O’Reilly books are an invaluable resource to help build your development knowledge and keep up-to-date with the latest technologies. They are friendly, concise and many of my skills have been built upon using the O’Reilly books as a learning resource.

For celebrated osteopath Simon Freedman, who runs renowned healthcare practice alive + well in Covent Garden, the “dog project” had an accidental birth.
When Jensen Parsons was five he scribbled a picture on a pad, and that was Boil the dog. Boil went onto a canvas to make him more permanent, and all of a sudden everybody wanted to paint a dog canvas. It was extraordinary how different people expressed themselves, and that was the start of the alive + well dog project.
Simon contacted Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity, told them what he had in mind and they were very keen to be involved. The rest has been fun, but far from easy. Almost all those involved are friends, patients or friends of friends and patients. And whilst Emma (Jensen’s mum) has been busily tracing canvasses on the kitchen table and sending out packages to people, the whole thing has spiralled into quite an event.
Featuring canvases by Anthony Gormley, Damien Hirst, Gary Hume, Jack and Dinos Chapman, Nicole Farhi and Paul McCartney as well as over 80 others (including canvases by Neil and myself at Camber) the event will take place on the 31st January 2007 where the canvases will be auctioned by Sothebys.
At Camber, we have given our time to creating the website for the project, designing and producing the book and helping Simon and Emma to realise this most incredible dream for a truly worthy cause.
