How to? An element inside a div gains/loses focus, div class gets swapped

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jun 10.2007

New to Javascript and I’m trying to accomplish this.. I’m wrapping text input and submit button form elements inside a div. When either the text field or the submit button gain focus, I want to swap the class on the parent div. The form elements themselves wouldn’t change, but the wrapper div would, for example, gain and lose a border depending on whether any of its contents had focus.

Any suggestions?

@jsakalosJun 10.2007 — You should write onfocus and onblur event handlers for input elements and inside of these handlers you do something like this:

[code=php]

this.parentNode.className = "your-class-name;

[/code]

Success!
