I too have had difficulties adjusting forms behaviour to fit IE. I believe
what's happening is that one of the names above is invalid so the default
background colour is used as a substitute.
I have a related problem which I hope somebody can comment on. In my
homepage (http://schestowitz.com/) there is a search box at the top. The
button called "Search" is rendered at a reasonable scale under Firebox, but
it tends to grow significantly in height under IE and it looks
out-of-place. How can I force IE to render objects properly? I have had
many goes at it without any success.
