That's it of course, but put like that takes all the magic out of it.
cross-browser DHTML is all tricks in the end I guess.
Basically you have a DynLayer, with a label in it, and a fake cursor, with
onmousedown
event to focus() the real form text-box, which is off screen, and whose
onchange event
does a setHTML on the label, and positions the fake cursor to
label.getWidth().
The great thing is you can have any fontsize/color/border etc you want
The real offscreen form can have all the properties they always have.
first I did it with the keyevents, but that means remapping the whole
keyboard.
