Netscape's bgColor

[jay25]

I can't get this to work in Netscape. What is wrong? Can you not change the background color in Netscape dynamically?

<div id=&quot;box1&quot; style=&quot;background-color:#ccffcc;&quot;>
This is box 1 
</div>
<script language=&quot;JavaScript&quot;>
function color()    {
if (document.all)    {
box1.style.backgroundColor=&quot;blue&quot;;    }
else        {
box1.bgColor=&quot;blue&quot;;    }
}
</script>
[code]
Thanks.

According to Dynamic HTML:The Definitive Reference by Danny Goodman from O'Reilly, "The lack of automatic content reflow in Navigator 4 prevents it from displaying most changes to style sheet attribute values after the document has loaded, even if the values are exposed to scripting."

I wonder, what about Netscape 6?

Also bgColor is a document property, so that might be the problem. Did you try box1.backgroundColor="blue";

I've tried box1.backgroundColor and document.box1.bgColor and I've tried Netscape6 but they wouldn't work. I think it's like you said, that you can only change the background in the whole document because document.bgColor did work. But I could not do it in a div.
