invisible, focusable form element

[blueindian1]

Hello,

Can anyone tell me how to create an invisible form element that I can give focus to? I don't care what it is, as long as i can adjust the size (needs to be super small) and user's can't see it.

thanks,

rich

You might be able to use an <img tag & have the image file be like 1px by 1 px. I think you may still see a dotted rectangle when the img has focus. But if it's that small, it may be ok.

i tried that, but i can't seem to get the focus to set.

Can you use the form/background color for your invisible object?

tada, it can be any size you want, it will never really take up space, it's still there, it's netscape 4.7+ and IE compatible, and it's a text input woohoo! (no, I see nothing exciting about it being a text box, but hey, it should work )

<input type=&quot;text&quot; name=&quot;youcantseeme&quot; style=&quot;display:none;&quot;>

Quick and dirty anyone?
