If you are using asp textboxes and style="background-color:red" does not work, you can try BackColor="#FF0000". For a textbox you can't modify, you could use the property readonly="true" or use a label instead of a textbox.

did you try

<input type="text" name="fish" value="guppy" onChange="this.style.background='yellow'">

? Is this what you wanted?

notice that the onChange isn't called until the input loses focus.

do i have to declare anything before and after that statement u gave?... what i meant was after i clicked on the UPDATE button.... all the values in each textbox which updated will be maintained and the color of that updated textbox will change to yellow...

thanks for the reply

right, I don't think you need to declare anything here. This isn't really an asp question, so I'm not really an expert. I don't even know if this is considered part of javascript or dhtml or what. Anyway, you don't have to put anything there but the above code snippet and your background color will change. Test it in a few different browsers to make sure, but I just checked ie6 and firefox and they both worked. I didn't check with a validator.

I think the onChange fires when the user makes a change in the textbox. Since your textbox is readonly, the user can't make changes, so the onChange might not ever run. How do you update the textbox? I am not sure either, but you might have to approach this a little differently.
