the display of forms

[timjwild]

I have a countdown javascript function which writes to fields in a form (document.form.field.value=??) but I'd rather not have to display the info in textboxes or at least make the textboxes look less like text boxes. is there any way to do either of these? ie not a textbox or no borders on the textbox ?

Thanks

Tim

in ie4+ (and ns6+) :
<div (or span or whatever) name=anything> some text </div>

document.all.anything.innerHTML=&quot;new text&quot;
will replace &quot;some text&quot; with &quot;new text&quot;

document.all.anything.outerHTML=&quot;new text&quot;
will replace &quot;<div name=anything> some text </div>&quot; with &quot;new text&quot;

in ns6-, try to absolutely position elements and replace them ... or hide and show ....

Tim,
Add a class to your style sheet that looks like this:

.myInput
{
   border-color : White;
   border-style : none;
   background-color: transparent;
}

Then call it like so:

<INPUT TYPE=&quot;text&quot; CLASS=&quot;myInput&quot;>

If you don't have a style sheet, just do this:
[bode]<INPUT TYPE=&quot;text&quot; STYLE=&quot;border-style: none; border-color: white; background-color: transparent;&quot;>[/code]

You can probably leave the border-color thing out of there, that's just how I used it on my page. You're more concerned about border-style. This should do the trick though. Kevin

&quot;bode&quot;???? What was I doing there? Oh well, can't take it back now. You know what I meant though right? I hate when I do that! Kevin

kevin & timjwild -

you can compress your css statment a little, not that it would really do anything, but it might look a little nicer.

<style>

.disguisedInput {border:solid 0px #FFFFFF; background-color:transparent;}

</style>
