Changing BG color ?

milton747 · May 15, 2006

I'm trying to alter the color a field from OnLoad() using getElementsByName. HTML & script run but no color change.
(Eventually I'll loop thru and alter a whole bunch of fields.)

If anyone has a working sample of color changing/highlighting using getElementsByName and looping through, would REALLY appreciate it.

Thanks.
Milt.

<html>
<head>
<script>

function hue() {
alert('in hue function');

var e=document.getElementsByName("top");

for(var i=0; i<e.length; i++)
{
alert('In top');
e.style.backgroundColor = Blue;
}

} // End of Hue

</script>

</head>
<body
onLoad="hue()"
>

<a name="top">Sports Page<br><br></a>

<div class="mxb"><b>Soccer Table</b></div>
<table border="1" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="0" class="indextable">

<td class="c1"> </td>

<td class="c4"><div class="mvb"><span class="rhst">GD</span></div></td>
<td class="c5"><div class="mvb"><span class="rhst">PTS</span></div></td>
