Javascript method?

[zzfive03]

Lets say I have a radio button, and when I click it, i want my focus to be on a <input type='text'> box. But lets say I have a value in the input such as:
<input type='text' value='Type Data Here'>

When I click the Radio button, I want the value inside the text box to apper highlighted.

Can this be done?
Thank you in advance.

<script language=javascript
function Changetxt(theField)
{
if (theField.value==1)
{
txtValue.style.color=&quot;red&quot;
}else
{
txtValue.style.color=&quot;black&quot;
}
return true
}
</script>
<input type=text name=&quot;txtValue&quot; value=&quot;test&quot;>
<input type=radio onclick=&quot;Changetxt(this)&quot; value=&quot;1&quot;>option
<input type=radio onclick=&quot;Changetxt(this)&quot; value=&quot;2&quot;>option

thanks SarkMan,

But rather than just change the color, i actualy want the focus to be on the text, and the text highlighted. This way, when the user clickes the radio button, he/she can just type their own value into the box, and not have to worry about clicking the box, highlighting the 'Place Text Here' and first removing it before entering their own data.

Change the javascript to
function Changetxt(theField)
{
//alert(theField.value)
if (theField.value==1)
{
txtValue.focus();
txtValue.select();

}else
{

}
return true
}

Here is the function in vbscript
<script language=vbscript>
function Changetxt(theField)
txtValue.focus()
txtValue.select()
msgbox (&quot;hello&quot

End function
</script>
