Specifying the background colour of an <asp:TextBox> also changes its border style

Hi,

Have been modifying a piece of JavaScript I found on the net which
completely prevents the Google AutoFill Toolbar from doing its stuff... Got
that working now but, while I was debugging it, I noticed that every field
that the Google Toolbar turned yellow also had its border style changed...

Seems that this is a standard "feature"... If you specify an <asp:TextBox>'s
BackColor property, that also changes its border style - has anyone else
seen this? It's the same if you make the change with DHTML after the page
has loaded.

E.g., when I display the following markup:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" >

<head runat="server">

<title>Untitled Page</title>

</head>

<body>

<form id="form1" runat="server">

<asp:TextBox ID="txtWhite" runat="server" />

<br />

<asp:TextBox ID="txtGreen" runat="server" BackColor="LightGreen" />

</form>

</body>

</html>


the first textbox displays "normally" but the second has a different border
style. Can anyone else confirm this behaviour and, if so, is there a way to
prevent it...?

Any assistance gratefully received.

Mark
