Auto Add Function

[driz]

Is it possible to add this:

onFocus="clearText(this)" onBlur="clearText(this)"

to an input field WITHOUT actually adding it manually?So for example if I had this:

<input type="text" />

I could STILL have the onFocus and onBlur on that text box by using JS to add them instead.

You can attach events using Javascript. You can use getElementById to get a single element, or getElementsByTagName to get all input elements, for example. For each element you can attach the focus and blur handlers.

document.getElementById("search").onfocus = function() { clearText(document.getElementById("search")); };

Like what justsomeguy mentioned, you can also put it on a function (like a listener) on blur or on focus will trigger the specific methods.
