    Hi Alexis –

    Believe me, we were as shocked as you when we saw this happening! Turns out the Google Toolbar is changing the background color to let you know it can autofill the field. It doesn’t look at the context, it just sets the color to light yellow–in fact almost exactly the same light yellow we used for our text.

    We’ve put some script on the site that watches for the Toolbar’s changes and resets them back to the way we originally designed. Another typical day in the wild ‘n’ wooly world of websites. :)

    BTW, thanks for trying out our site!
