[thelist] javascript form question

[Ben Glassman]

There is actually a CSS pseudo class called :focus that you could use
the change the background color of all inputs when they are clicked on
(or tabbed to) which would be like this

input:focus {
background-color: red;
}

The alternative would be to add onclick event handlers to all input
elements using javascript that would either change the
style.backgroundColor value or (optimally) would add or remove a class
or ID (probably an ID since the element which is selected would be
unique at any given time). You could then style this ID using CSS.
