Here is a start.
$('input:text:enabled, select:enabled').each(function() {
var curFieldID = this.id;
var orgnlFieldID = curFieldID + '_orig';
if( $('#' + orgnlFieldID).val() != $('#' + curFieldID).val()) {
$(this).addClass('highlightchange');
}
});
It would also help if you were able to give the initial selector a
context. For example, if all the enabled inputs and selects were
within an element with a particular id, you could do:
$('#myid').find('input:text:enabled, select:enabled') ...
Hope that helps.

Hi,
I am trying to get a field highlighter working. I have a 2 column
layout with a form in each. The form on the left is the 'original'
data and the form on the right is newly updated. I would like to look
at each form field and compare their values and if different add a
class to highlight the change. I have the following code:

The forms are quite large and this code basically kills the browser
and I get a Slow script warning. Does anyone know if there is a way to
speed this up or make it more efficient or should I handle it server
side?
Cheers
