The state.gov online form for passport renewal renders strangely- making light grey boxes around some parts of the form, and making the form fields uniformly white. In both IE and Firefox, the entire form is white with only certain required form fields white, and others yellow. Worse, however, is a completed form fails to submit. When one hits the 'create form" button, one gets the error of "File does not begin with '%PDF-'." This works fine in Firefox and IE.
The page looks fine using a local debug build of WebKit r24803 with Safari 3 Public Beta 3.0.3 (522.12.1) on Mac OS X 10.4.10 (8R218). I did not try to submit the form. Adding PlatformOnly keyword since this is probably a Windows issue.

The form looks the same to me in Safari 3 Public Beta v. 3.0.3 on Windows as it does in Firefox 2.0.0.4 on Windows and IE 7 (other than our Aqua form controls). I don't see any yellow parts of the form in any of these browsers. I tried submitting an incomplete form in all the browsers and got the same result in each -- error messages explaining what I needed to fill out, the incomplete information still in the form, and all the form elements looking identical to before form submission. Perhaps there is some other step required to reproduce this bug that I'm missing? > Worse, however, is a completed form fails to submit.

Hey Adam- Turns out- the funny yellow boxes are a weird FireFox error, and it looks the same in IE as it does in Safari- So should we just mark this bug as a dupe of the known pdf issue?

If the form layout is not an issue, I think it might be clearer if we close this bug as WORKSFORME and open a new one specifically about the PDF issue. Then we can relate that new Bugzilla bug to <rdar://problem/5268454>.
