adding a javascript attribute to all text form elements on an asp.net page

In code, I'm adding javascript attributes to form elements on an ASP.NET
page:

body.Attributes.Add("onClick", "highlight(event);");
body.Attributes.Add("onKeyUp", "highlight(event);");
title.Attributes.Add("onClick", "highlight(event);");
title.Attributes.Add("onKeyUp", "highlight(event);");
description.Attributes.Add("onKeyUp", "highlight(event);");
description.Attributes.Add("onClick", "highlight(event);");

I would like to know how to tell the renderer to generically apply the
onClick and onKeyUp attributes to all form elements that take text, rather
than naming those form elements in code, as I do here. The functional
equivalent of :

*.Attributes.Add("onClick", "highlight(event);");

Thanks,

What about drilling down Controls collection starting from your page object
and adding the attributes depending on the control type? You can do it in
the PreRender event.
 
Can someone pass along an analogous snip of code?

Thank you.
