See my just submitted additions to JavaScript Q30.

You *can* change the color in a form field with MSIE 4.x and above by using a STYLE in the same manner you would do so to a text item in Netscape:

<STYLE>ALL.DEMO { color:white; background:black; }</STYLE>
...
<FORM ...>
<INPUT CLASS=DEMO Name=Any Value=Something>
...

This gives you a "reverse video" form field which is wonderful for some purposes!

I've found a way of solving this.

If you have an external stylesheet and a style defined for input, and another class (say input2) then you can have a JavaScript function that does:

function changeFormat(fld)
{
fld.className = "input2";
}

Kindest regards,
