I have the following problem: I have a form with three text input fields, and I want to change the background-color when one of the fields has focus, and get it set back when it loses focus. I have come up with the following code:
HTML (simplified):
<form>
<input class="calc_input" type="text" name="start_date" id="start_date" />
<input class="calc_input" type="text" name="end_date" id="end_date" />
<input class="calc_input" size="8" type="text" name="leap_year" id="leap_year" />
</form>
jQuery
$(document).ready(function() {
$('input:text').focus(
function(){
$(this).css({'background-color' : '#FFFFEEE'});
});
$('input:text').blur(
function(){
$(this).css({'background-color' : '#DFD8D1'});
});
});
Thanks
#FFFFEEE is not a correct color code. Try with #FFFFEE instead.
What you are trying to do can be simplified down to this.
$('input:text').bind('focus blur', function() {
$(this).toggleClass('red');
});input{
background:#FFFFEE;
}
.red{
background-color:red;
}<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<form>
<input class="calc_input" type="text" name="start_date" id="start_date" />
<input class="calc_input" type="text" name="end_date" id="end_date" />
<input class="calc_input" size="8" type="text" name="leap_year" id="leap_year" />
</form>Even easier, just CSS can resolve the problem:
input[type="text"], input[type="password"], textarea, select {
width: 200px;
border: 1px solid;
border-color: #C0C0C0 #E4E4E4 #E4E4E4 #C0C0C0;
background: #FFF;
padding: 8px 5px;
font: 16px Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, sans-serif;
-moz-box-shadow: 0 0 5px #C0C0C0;
-moz-border-radius: 5px;
-webkit-box-shadow: 0 0 5px #C0C0C0;
-webkit-border-radius: 5px;
box-shadow: 0 0 5px #C0C0C0;
border-radius: 5px;
}
input[type="text"]:focus, input[type="password"]:focus, textarea:focus, select:focus {
border-color: #B6D5F7 #B6D5F7 #B6D5F7 #B6D5F7;
outline: none;
-moz-box-shadow: 0 0 10px #B6D5F7;
-webkit-box-shadow: 0 0 10px #B6D5F7;
box-shadow: 0 0 10px #B6D5F7;
}
