var regExp = /INPUT|OPTION|SELECT|TEXTAREA/;

var ns6=document.getElementById && !document.all

//Function to highlight form element
function hilite(evt){
    evt = evt ? evt : window.event;
    var currentElem = evt.srcElement ? evt.srcElement : evt.target || evt.currentTarget;
    if(currentElem.className && regExp.test(currentElem.tagName)){
        //if (ns6&&eventobj.nodeType==3)eventobj=eventobj.parentNode.parentNode
        if(hilitedElem)hilitedElem.className = normalClass;
        currentElem.className = hiliteClass;
        hilitedElem = currentElem;
    }
}

    evt = evt ? evt : window.event;
    var currentElem = evt.srcElement ? evt.srcElement : evt.target || evt.currentTarget;
