Change INPUT type=text hover color

[Luiz Ricardo Mouro]

Hi all,
Is it possible to change the backgroud color of <input type=text> using CSS pseudo-class hover?

I already tried :
INPUT:hover{
background-color:#0066CC;
}
INPUT[type=text]:hover{
background-color:#0066CC;
}

...but nothing worked.

tks

No, not reliably. Not all browsers fully support the psuedoclass :hover for all tags. I did this user PHP:

<input name="tbEmail" value="<?= $_POST['tbEmail'] ?>" type="text" id="tbEmail"<?= $BGtbEmail ?> />

First of all, this form POSTs to itself. In a PHP file included at the top of the page I do all my verification of the input field. If it verifies then I do nothing and at the end of the whole verification I use a:

headers ("Location:nextpage.html");

If it doesn't verify then I set a $invalidform flag variable and set $BGtbEmail like:

$BGtbEmail = ' style="background-color: #ff0000;"';

Watch the quotes as it is easy to get them messed up. I used scary pure red but obviously you can use whatever color you want. There are some sneaky ways to do this if you are validating a bunch of stuff.

Have fun and hope this helps.
