changing Field colors

WmFenn · 07-20-2005, 11:31 AM

This is probably a dumb question, but how do I change the fill color of a field?

Background:

I have a form being validated through ASP using Regular Expressions to look for invalid characters. If an invalid character is found, then I want the cursor to focus in on the field and either highlight the text or change the color of the field.

Thanks

With CSS, you can change the background-color property. Maybe you can do that through JavaScript somehow.

I'm gettign confused here, first I thought it was just going to be some form of table fill in color, but when you say "Focusing cursor in field" I think it's more an input field you want to change color in. For this you can use CSS, this example might give you an idear.

Code:

<html>
<head>
<style TYPE='text/css'>
<!--
   INPUT     {font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica,sans-serif;font-size: 8pt;}
   .red{
	background-color:#FF0000;
        color: #FFFFFF;
   }
   .white{
	background-color:#FFFFFF;
        color: #000000;
   }
// -->
</style>
</head>
<body>
<form>
Red style: <input type='text' class='red'><br>
White style: <input type='text' class='white'>
</form>
</body>
</html>
