Something has gone seriously wrong with this code. Its supposed to light up orange when you click inside the text box. Can anyone point out where I've gone wrong?

var previous=''
var eventobj

//Regular expression to highlight only form elements
var intended=/INPUT|TEXTAREA|SELECT|OPTION/

//Function to check whether element clicked is form element
function checkel(which){

I think i have found out why it didnt work, but i got it to work so here it is, there is a little gap in it but im sure you can fix it.

Your forgot to add this in after the texbox and text areas. (Step 2)
<FORM onKeyUp="highlight(event)" onClick="highlight(event)"></FORM>
