[SOLVED] DOM background color to a cell

[lilman]

I wrote this JavaScript code so when the mouse rolls over it, it will change the background color. I would also like to get it to change the border color as well. I did not get it to work with the background color yet so I haven't even attempted to change the border. Here is the JS function:

 

<script type="text/javascript">

function mouseover()

{

document.getElementById('link').bgcolor="#000000"

}

</script>

 

This is the code I call it from:

 

<th class="td" id="link" width="100%" onmouseover="mouseover()" height="17">Link Text</th>

 

If someone could help me as I am new to JavaScript I would appreciate it. Thank you.

document.getElementById('link').border

could work

 

document.getElementById('link').style.border

should work

what about background color:

[LazyJones]

oh, sorry I missed that

 

you could try

 

.style.background-color

 

Not on expert on JavaScript, but something I would try

[mainewoods]

This is what you want:

document.getElementById('link').style.backgroundColor = '**color**';

another reason I hate JavaScript, strange naming conventions
