Question

I would like a separate DIV that’s holding the input to also change in background color. How would I add it to my existing code that works?

<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
jQuery("input:[type=text]").focus(function () {
 jQuery(this).addClass("highLightInput");

});
jQuery("input:[type=text]").blur(function () {
jQuery(this).removeClass("highLightInput");
});
    });
 </script>

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$("input:[type=text]").focus(function () {
 $(this).addClass("highLightInput");
$(this).parent('div').addClass('highlight');

});
$("input:[type=text]").blur(function () {
$(this).removeClass("highLightInput");
$(this).parent('div').removeClass('highlight');
});
    });
 </script>
