I'd like to set up some of my forms so that the background color of the field which currently has the focus would change. Any suggestions on the easiest way to do this?

you can use javascript/css for this:
onBlur='this.style.backgroundColor="white"' onFocus='this.style.backgroundColor="#ffffcc"'

Thanks txbakers.
I've actually used "this.style" in other situations, and it certainly does the trick here.

But now I'm wondering... can I use more generalized javascript in the header (or a separate file) that will be called whenever a form-field is in focus (rather than placing that same snip of code in every single form field)?
