If you have a second, can you please go to the following page and let me know if the form looks ok? Specifically, some people are having the area code box come up black. Just the area code box. If you see this or anything else odd, please let me know. Thanks in advance...

I did. I just can't get the 'black box' to come up that my client is seeing. so i want to see how many other people, if any, see it.

not me

The area code box is black for me...

Hey Kristie ...

I checked it on the above two browsers and it looked great - no black box. I also checked the source code of the page and javascript of the form and they look fine too.

You might as someone who's getting the error what browser they are using and you should be able to duplicate the problem by getting that same browser and testing it - alternatively, you should be able look at the backend stats and see all the browsers that have reviewed the site. If you find it's a minimally used browser: don't worry about it - help the user upgrade to a more popularly used browser. The rule of thumb I've always used for design is "design it for Netscape - it'll work in IE". And if it's IE 7, I'd not worry too much about it "today". That thing is still kinkier than Larry Flint.

All we can do is design for "the standard". If we tried to design for every browser and individual computer configuration, we'd never finish a site.

Beautiful site!

looked fine to me, I am using Firefox latest version if that helps any :wink:

The only box that isn't black on my computer is the request more info. It looks like this, is that what you're going for?

I'm running one of those pesky Mac OS X computers, looks the same on both safari and firefox...

Yeah, I know that stuff. I was thinking that it may be a "google" toolbar type autofill thing, but black would be odd... Thanks!!

Area code box was black when i looked at it.

 

[MDbaydog]

The area code box came up black and I tried putting in numbers and they came out yellow.

 

[hhlabradors]

worked fine for me.

 

[RailRoadRetrievers]

I clicked on the link and it took me directly to a nude midget wreslting site. I was shocked and at the same time oddly drawn to the live web cam. Then I quickly realized that it was my home page, so everything is fine now.

Clicked on the link again, appears to be working just fine for me.

 

[Andy Carlson]

Looks fine on my computer.

It's black or a funky dark green on my computer.

 

[spaightlabs]

comes up black for me on my work PC...I do run the google toolbar...

 

[Fire Angel]

Works fine for me on a Mac running Safari.

 

[Keven]

Yep, you nailed it .... Google Toolbar

I can replicate it on IE after installing the Google Toolbar:

You might want to install the Google Toolbar on Mozilla/Foxfire too ... when I did that, well, the good news is the box isn't colorless, but some of the background is missing:

Not sure it will help or not, but I did find an offering on the web to trick AutoFill - no clue which version it's discussing though: http://code.jenseng.com/google/ - might lend some clue.

I'll dig more later - when I finish up the day/night and see if I can find some more current work arounds. If so, I'll PM ya!!

It came up black for me too. But I could imput numbers into it. They came up beige, the numbers in the beige boxes came out very washed out. Like they were greyed out by the background.

I've got the google tool bar also.

Area code black for me as well, running windows XP.
