Highlighting one field with focus on another

[Stuart Wexler]

Hi,

I was wondering if there is any way with onload that I can highlight (blue
color) the select box field while simultaneously placing the mouse cursor or
focus on a text box immediately below it? Thanks in advance.

I think the problem you'll have here is that the highlight will be removed
when the control loses focus. I think Opera keeps it, but the highlight
colour changes from blue to grey. I fairly sure that IE removes the
highlight completely until focus is returned to the control. I haven't
used Mozilla and Netscape enough to remember their behaviour.
