Form questions

[JDE]

Hello,

I've built a subscription page and included a signup form. Two things are driving me nuts! And trust me it a short trip!

Problem #1:
The form asks for 3 input fields; first name, last name and email address.
Regardless of whether I define a background-color: for the input field class in the CSS or not, the 3rd field always has a yellow background color when viewed by a browser (although not in my html editor)!

If I leave the background-color: definition out, the 1st two fields have a white background and the third yellow!

If I define the background-color: the 1st two fields have my defined color and the 3rd is yellow!

code CCS below:
.input-box{
float: left;
margin-bottom: 5px;
color: #222d5d;
background-color: #eee;
border: #222d5d solid 1px;
}

Javascript Input statements below:
<label for="firstname">First</label><input class="input-box" type="text" name="firstname" value="" maxLength=30 size=16><br>
<label for="lastname">Last</label><input class="input-box" type="text" name="lastname" value="" maxLength=30 size=16><br>
<label for="email">eMail</label><input class="input-box" type="text" name="email" value="" maxLength=30 size=16><br>

Problem #2:
After completing a test form, then receiving the "Thank You", when I return to the subscription page, my previous input is still in the fields!
How can I clear the input field after they are sent to the host so the form is clear when the visitor returns to the page? I don't want to use a reset button.

I'd appreciate any help. Thanks ...JDE

sounds like you are doing some server-side stuff .. what are you using to process the data?

i haven't ever really used label tags .. and the word 'for' just doesn't seem like something i've seen in html ever.

Use an onClick on the submit button to clear the fields
