Automatically shade a text input

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Dec 22.2003

Is it possible to automatically shade a text input so that the user can overtype the value with a single keystroke. I know I could write some stuff to do this, but loading the form with the value shaded might be a bit more elegant.

Thanks

<body onLoad="document.form_name.element_name.focus();document.form_name.element_name.select()">

You could also place it in a function like this:

<script language="javascript">

function doIt()

{

document.form_name.element_name.focus()

document.form_name.element_name.select()

}

</script>

<body onLoad="doIt()">
