Do you have the Google toolbar installed?
The yellow highlighting indicates a field that the Google toolbar can
autofill.
The 'sunken' border is the default Windows border for text fields, but
IE on Windows XP normally replaces it with a plain border, however the
Google toolbar code changes it back to the inset look (as a side
effect I think). There is considerable variation between browers and
operating systems as to how text field borders are presented. If you
want a certain look then specify it in CSS.

Telephone is a field that Google can autofill, Date of Birth is not.
