Text Boxes

[Freeman]

I want the text in the text box to be highlighted when they tab to it. is there a way to do it or do they have to highlight and then start typing. And how do you center buttons? JF

The easiest way is to use CSS (pseudo class) to apply the highlighting whenever the user sets focus to the form element:


<style type="text/css">
input:focus, textarea:focus{
background-color: lightyellow;
}
</style>

This technique currently does not work in IE6, however.

If I have multiple text boxs inserted on page and I put this on the top of the page will all the text boxs will be highlighted when the change their focus to them?
