Change a td's backgroudn color

Hi, I'm trying to change a td's color with javascript.

the html looks like this:
<td id="cell0"></td>

the javascript part that I'm having trouble with looks like this.

function highlightBox() {
var currentBox = document.getElementByID("cell0").bgColor;
currentBox.style.backgroundColor = 'black';
}

The part I'm not sure about is the .bgColor I', not sure if thats the correct way to select the td.

ahhhh forget it I just looked at it and I have getElementByID when it should be getElementById. I also don't need the .bgcolor part.
