How can I use javascript and css to change the background color of my text box
I tried the following that did not work

.textHilight {

background:00BFFF;
}




<input type="text" class="textbox" name="toDate" id="toDate" size=10 maxlength=10 value=>




document.getElementById('toDate').class= textHilight;

the following work but I wanted to do it using css

document.getElementById("toDate").style.backgroundColor = "#dd0000";
