Q on creating forms that don't default to white bg with Google toolbar

I have a form with five elements in it, three of which are name, email address and phone number. The presence of the Google Toolbar changes the background colour in each of these three forms from blue to white.

This is problematic as I have set the text colour to white for users typing in these forms. Therefore the result is white text on white background which cannot be read.

This causes a usability problem. I don't wish to change my white text to black text as black text on my preferred blue background (which appears in the other two non-affected forms) is hard to read.

My question: what form names should I NOT give my three forms so that Google Toolbar won't impact them. To clarify, I don't want to make my site Google Toolbar friendly, I just don't want Google Toolbar interfering with my form colours.

Thanks in advance.

Wrafter.

I had to change the style for my forms to a black text because of this so I'd like to know if there is a solution, also I think its caused by SP2 and not the toolbar.

Try renaming with completely irrelevant names and it may work. Definately don't use phone, email, name, login, etc...
