Creating a "Glow" effect when an input box gets focus, using CSS

With a wide range of devices today, a user can access web forms (eg: registration form, email form...etc), from any of those. It is a good practice to give visual feedback on which field the user is, esp for mobile devices where spotting the cursor can be a bit tricky. 

This problem is effectively solved by providing a visual "glow" around the form entity having focus, as shown below.
As you can see, in above example, when the input box gets focus, a blow "glow" appears. Notice that there is a "transition" effect . Check out the CSS tab above to find out how its done.

Thanks for visiting!

Deleting Leading 0s from a variable

While SAP stores data in transparent tables with leading 0s (eg: Purchase Order is 10 chars long, but most customers use a number range which puts the PO in 7-8 char length), when it comes to presentation, esp in HTML 5 web applications, these leading 0s become a sore spot. 

Before:
Using function module : CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT

After:
 SHIFT LEFT DELETING LEADING '0'.
