I have a form that I have designed with colors. I am using php code to color
it depending upon other values.

On my pc the colors are ok. From a friends pc every field with the word
email in had a different colour. When I change the spelling of "email" to
"emial" the colours displayed on his pc revert back to the colours I have
set. We are running identical versions of windows and msie. Except mine is
the Swedish version and he has the English version.

The offending field contains a text label and an input control. If either
the text label or the name of the input control contains the word "email"
the colors are morphed. The main problem with this was that the input field
was changed to yellow text on a yellow background.

Is this because I am supplying the colors by php code or is it a problem for
all forms? What I can not fathom is why he has different colors to the ones
I have designed and why this "feature" was not displayed on my pc. We both
use std settings in MSIE.
