Use jQuery to handle this there are two events that you need. onfocus and onblur. $(document).ready(function () { $('input').focus(function () { $(this).addClass('yellowBackground'); }); $('input').blur(function () { $(this).removeClass('yellowBackground'); }); }); Here is the CSS incase you were wondering: .yellowBackground { background:yellow; }
