Another extremely weird feature from iE6

I have a site, whose predominant colors are green background with white 
writing.

There is a style sheet with many styles, of which all either specify a 
green background, or don't specify any. Body defaults to green.

At the customer site, some <INPUT type="TEXT"> elements showed up with a 
white background on one machine running IE6. I didn't have a chance to 
investigate further. Highlighting the white on white entered text showed 
it was there, just invisible

Further madness occurred when on this machine a form containing about 10 
of such inputs, that as far as I know were identical HTML, showed up 
with some white and some green background.

My own test machine running AFAICT the same IE6 version does NOT display 
this problem.

Her is a code snippet that gave some fields white, some green:-


<TABLE width=90% border="0">
  <TR><TD align="right">Name:</td><TD align="left"><INPUT type="text" 
maxlength="32"name ="name"  value=""></td>

  <TD align="right">Phone:</TD><TD align="left"><INPUT type="text" name= 
"phone" maxlength="32" value=""></td>
  </TR><TR>
  <TD align="right">Address 1:</td><TD align="left"><INPUT type="text" 
name="address1" maxlength="30" value=""></td>
  <TD align="right">Mobile Phone:</TD><TD align="left"><INPUT 
type="text" name=" phone2" maxlength="30" value=""></td>
  </TR><TR>
  <TD align="right">Address 2:</td><TD align="left"><INPUT type="text" 
name="address2" maxlength="32" value=""></td>
  <TD align="right">Fax:</TD><TD align="left"><INPUT type="text" 
name="fax" maxlength="32" value=""></td>

  </TR><TR>
  <TD align="right">Address 3:</td><TD align="left"><INPUT type="text" 
name="address3" maxlength="32" value=""></td>
  <TD align="right">Email:</TD><TD align="left"><INPUT type="text" 
name="email" maxlength="32" value=""></td>
  </TR><TR>
  <TD align="right">Town:</td><TD align="left"><INPUT type="text" 
name="town" maxlength="32" value=""></td>
  <TD align="right">Web:</TD><TD align="left"><INPUT type="text" 
name="web" maxlength="32" value=""></td>
  </TR><TR>

  <TD align="right">County/state:</td><TD align="left"><INPUT 
type="text" name="county" maxlength="32" value=""></td>
  <TD align="right">Credit Limit:</TD><TD align="left"><INPUT 
type="text" name="credit_limit" maxlength="32" value="0"></td>
  </TR><TR>
  <TD align="right">Post/ZIP code:</td><TD align="left"><INPUT 
type="text" name="postcode" maxlength="32" value=""></td>
  <TD align="right">Status:</TD>
  <TD align="left">
  Cash<input type="radio" name="credit_status"  value="cash" checked>

  Credit<input type="radio" name="credit_status" value="credit" >
  On Hold<input type="radio" name="credit_status" value="hold" >
  </td>
  </TR>


At the least I would have thought that this would override any other 
styles - from the relevant stylesheet.

	
INPUT, TEXTAREA, SELECT, OPTION {
	font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
	padding: 2px;
	color: white;
	font-size: 12px;
	background-color: #60a060;

}

No HTML errors or warnings are given: No errors are shown..


Any ideas? graphics issue maybe?
