Changing textbox color

[holly]

Hi

how do i change the color of my textbox via ASP?

The code I have is

<tr> 
            <td class="formText">Weight Tolerance Plus</td>
            <td>
                <input type="text" disabled name="weight_tolerance_plus" maxlength=10 size=20
                value='111' onChange="changeFont(this);">
            </td>
            <td nowrap class="formText">Maximum Pallet Weight</td>
            <td>
                <input type="text" name="maximum_pallet_weight" maxlength=10 size=20
                value='735' onChange="changeFont(this);">
            </td>
          </tr>
          <tr>

Thanks

Set its style.

style="background-color: Red;"

Thanks for replying!

You will have to excuse my ignorance but I'm new to ASP..so in my example
where would you set its style?

Thanks again

Firstly are you using asp or asp.net?

[Valleysboy1978]

can you not set the background color to red in the text-box properties? or is the color going to change at some point?

I'm using ASP...I know I should of poted this in the other section

Thanks

I guess in asp you'd do it something like

'Set to whatever colour you need
dim strStyle = "background-color: Red;"
'...
<input type="text" style=<%=strStyle%>....

or, you could use:

style="color:Red"

[Fishcake]

or, you could use:

style="color:Red"

Although that will change the colour of the text rather than the textbox itself.

I know. Wasn't sure what she was asking for as she only asked how to change the color of the textbox, thought I'd include the text color too.

Holly, in the end, the best way to go about this is the CSS route.
Good luck
