CSS code... I THINK!

[MuMu]

I need a css code or java-script (don't know exactly) to help me with my problem.

I want this: when I click INSIDE an INPUT box, the background color to chage to RED for examble, and when I click outsite the INPUT box, the background color should change back to white.

mmmmmmmm... can anyone help me with this!?

Thanks!

document.onclick = function(e) {
  var ev = e || window.event;
  if((ev.target || ev.srcElement).tagName.toLowerCase() == "input")
    (ev.target || ev.srcElement).style.backgroundColor = "red";
  else
    for(var i = 0, e = document.getElementsByTagName("input"); i < e.length; ++i)
      e[i].style.backgroundColor = "white";
};

Thanks... but can you... TELL me how to use it...

Is this CSS or JAVA-SCRIPT!?

[MuMu]

when used like this...

<style type="text/css">

document.onclick = function(e) {
  var ev = e || window.event;
  if((ev.target || ev.srcElement).tagName.toLowerCase() == "input")
    (ev.target || ev.srcElement).style.backgroundColor = "red";
  else
    for(var i = 0, e = document.getElementsByTagName("input"); i < e.length; ++i)
      e[i].style.backgroundColor = "white";
};

</style>

... it doesn't do nothing.

Maybe I didn't expressed myself right. I have a contact form on my webpage and when visitors fill in this the files and want the "actve" INPUT BOXES (the selected one) to CHANGE COLOR.

Thanks again.

It's Javascript. It should be placed inside a <script> element, preferably in the head.

/EDIT: Well, if you'd said that before, it would have been easier

<script type="text/javascript">
window.onload = function() {
  for(var i = 0, e = document.getElementsByTagName("input").toLowerCase(); i < e.length; ++i)
    if(e[i].className.indexOf("nohighlight") == -1) {
      e[i].onfocus = function() {
        this.style.backgroundColor = "red";
      };
      e[i].onblur = function() {
        this.style.backgroundColor = "white";
      };
    }
};
</script>

};

</script>

Works perfect like this...
Now, just one more ajustment.... ... if you can help,...

If I click the 1st INPUT BOX the COLOR changes to RED, but when I click the 2nd INPUT BOX the COLOR on the 1st INPUT BOX doesn't CHANGE back to WHITE... can.. YOU DO THAT!?

Thanks!

Use the latest code I posted instead.

Use the latest code I posted instead.

Well... when i use the "latest" code, it give me an erros in this line

    if(e[i].className.indexOf("nohighlight") == -1) {

The Error:

Line 70 (The Line Above)
Char 18
Message: Object doesn't support this property or method.

What now!?

I've done it! Something more simple but effective...
Look at this...

onfocus="this.style.background='red'"
onblur="this.style.background='white'"

Example:

<input type="text" size="30" name="b_fullname" style="border: 1px solid #FF7A22" onfocus="this.style.background='pink'" onblur="this.style.background='#c0c0c0'">

Perhaps you have to use ...className.toString().indexOf(... instead in IE.

That's essentially what I was doing, but all at once
