Portal Field Background

[Greg Hains]

Hi.

I have an issue where I have a portal with alternative line fill shading (two different greys), and that portal sits on top of a tab control, withing a tab control - also different shades of grey. The screen background color is a very dark blue.

In the portal, where fields are set as transparent, the field changes to the screen background color when being edited. I would have thought that the color in the field would be taken from the grey tab control immediately behind it. Why is it going "all the way back"? I cant set the field's background color to grey as I have the alternative line fill option set.

Can anybody please tell me the "rules" behind fields in portals - it's only affecting those portal records. All my other fields seem to be working fine.

Thanks,

Greg
