<INPUT type="password" unselect problem

[Bob Anderson]

I have 3 fields on my page:
1.user name - type="text"
2.password - type="password"
3.change password - type="checkbox"

When the user tabs in to the first 2 fields, I want the text to be selected.
So the code is:

onFocus = password.select().

The problem is:
When you tab out of the user name field, it gets deselected. But when you
tab out of password, it does not get deselected i.e it remains highlighted.
In order to get it deselected, I need to add one more text field (which I
do not want).

Any ideas, how to solve this one?

Tks

Use the onBlur event and select some other field.

Also in IE if you set TABINDEX numbers the deselect is automatic.
