[thelist] Re: using JS to alter background colour of form input

[Dunstan Orchard]

Duncan, Hassan, thanks very much, that worked perfectly,

I've put a demo of the form (which is quite a nice form actually, using css,
and some good accessability features) up here:

The JS doesn't work in Opera for some reason :o/

thanks for that duncan... it did work when I included the # with the numbers
though, but I've swapped it for safety's sake.


Cheers - dunstan
