Removing input background colour for Chrome autocomplete?

Question

On a form I\'m working on, Chrome is auto-filling the email and password fields. This is fine, however, Chrome changes the background colour to a pale yellow colour.

Answer 1

None of the solutions worked for me, the inset shadow won't work for me because the inputs have a translucent background overlaid over the page background.

So I asked myself, "How does Chrome determine what should be autofilled on a given page?"

"Does it look for input ids, input names? Form ids? Form action?"

Through my experimentation with the username and the password inputs, there were only two ways I found that would cause Chrome to not be able to find the fields that should be autofilled:

1) Put the password input ahead of the text input. 2) Give them the same name and id ... or no name and id at all.

After the page loads, with javascript you can either dynamically change the order of the inputs on the page, or dynamically give them their name and id ...

And Chrome doesn't know what hit it ... autocomplete is broken!

Crazy hack, I know. But it's working for me.
