JavaScript
For example:
<input type="text" name="test" onChange="document.formname.test.value=.document.formname.test.value.replace('something','something else')" />
The replace function works but it loses focus on every change
How do you make it not lose focus?
What I'm trying to do is make it so that certain text is immediately replaced with new text when its typed but you can continue typing
