Firefox and backgroundColor

[RicksAtWork]

I have the following code:

alert(controls.style.backgroundColor);
if(controls.style.backgroundColor == "rgb(255,0,0)")
{
alert('hurrah!');
}

The first alert displays a prompt reading: rgb(255,0,0)

The second alert doesnt occur!!!

What am I doing wrong??

Try putting spaces after your commas:

== "rgb(255, 0, 0)"

Note that this won't work in all browsers, as some give a different format to the RGB format.

Hope this helps,

Thanks for the pointers.

How would you approach this then?

If you are setting the background colour, use a separate variable to keep track of the colour you are setting it to.
