onfocus event to change background colour 1

[slowfish]

hi

very simple but I can't seem to get an onfocus event to work - changing the background colour of a text box.

function setStyle(x)
{
document.getElementById(x).style.background="yellow";
}

and then the following in the td tags

onfocus="setStyle(this.id) id="iprange"

Any help gratefully received.

onfocus="setStyle(this.id) id="iprange"

you forgot to close the onfocus event with double quotes

<script>
function setStyle(x)
{
    document.getElementById(x).style.background="yellow";
}
</script>

<input type="text" onfocus="setStyle(this.id)" id="iprange" />

I have recently been semi-converted to ensuring all my code (well most of it) works in both javascript and non-javasc

Doh! I think it was a case of looking at it for so long that I didn't spot the obvious!

Thanks
