cursor and disable

[firestar_lene]

is there any coding in php or javascript whereby whenever i put the cursor in the input box, the image buttons for bold or italic will not be appear?

u can do it in javascript.

<input type=text name='txt_box' onfocus="hide_but();">

function hide_but()
{
	// i assume the id of the button to be 'but'	document.all.item("but").style.display="none";
	document.all.item("but").style.visibility="hidden";
	document.all.item("but").disabled=true;
}

u can use either of the 3 ways used above.
display : removes the control from screen and re-adjusts the rest of the controls.
visibility :hides the control... it occupies space on the screen but is not shown.
disabled : the control is there on screen...visible but user cant click it. it doesnt get focus any more. unless u say disabled=false.

hope that sloves it.

thansk for your help,,,it really works..but there is one problem...i want it to activate again the button once the cursor is no more in the textbox?

only disable the button when the cursor is in the textbox but activate when the cursor is no more there

extrapolate the solution... create a show_but() function.
