JavaScript - Background Color Won't Change
Clearly I'm doing something wrong. Here's my external javascript:
Code: document.getElementById('maincontent').style.backgroundColor = "#660000"; Here's my external CSS Code: #maincontent { background-color: #999; } Here's my HTML: Code: <div id="container"> <div id="maincontent"> <p>blah blah blah</p> </div> </div> Nothing happens. What am I doing wrong? Similar TutorialsHi! New to JS... have been trying to rework this to call additional, independent sets of colors to cycle through (so it would loop thru a set of grays, a set of primary colors, etc). I would use perhaps a different function name in the HTML to call different sets of colors. If this is more complex than I think it is, I think 3 sets would be plenty. Would be hugely grateful for any help, thanks so much in advance.

Hello, I am trying to change the background color of a table based on the value of a picklist. For instance. if the picklist value was "1", then the background color of the table should be red.

Thank you. Hi, Am trying to change both, the background color and the mouse pointer to hand on the mouseover event. Am using this to change the background color: Code: onMouseover="this.bgColor='#55FF55'"onMouseout="this.bgColor='#AEFFAE'" How and i add the "change pointer to hand" on this as well? Thanks Hi, I'm faced with a problem trying to set background color under IE7. I have the following Javascript: Code: function showLayer793BKColor(id) { var txtObj = document.all(id); if (txtObj.style.display == 'none') { txtObj.style.display = '' txtObj.style.backgroundColor = 'grey'; } } function hideLayer793BKColor(id) { var txtObj = document.all(id); if ( txtObj.style.backgroundColor == 'grey' ) txtObj.style.display = 'none'; } These functions are used to show or hide div blocks. These blocks are, for example, specified in the following way: Code: <div id="l_gct5tekst" style="display:none"> <b>GCT 5. Eerste verkenning problematiek</b> and, for example, Code: <div id="l_Keuze" style="display:none"> <br/> <b>GCT 5</b> <br/> </div> The whole configuration works smoothly when using IE8. However, when using IE7 I get an error msg like "Invalid value for property". When I use the Color propert iso the BackgroundColor property I get no error anymore but of course I don't have a background color anymore then. In what way can I specify the use of a background color under IE7 ? Or is just not possible in one way or the other. Furthermore, what more differences between JS under IE7 and IE8 do I have to take into account ? Do I also have to rewrite my div block in some way (using some attribs ?) to cope with IE7 ? Thanks in advance, Diederick van Elst For Script http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...htmlticker.htm How do I change the "subject" color above each message from the default black to white ? I am using a great script i downloaded at http://kryogenix.org/code/browser/sorttable/ to sort tables by the header. my problem is I want to add to this that everyother row should have a gray background. I now do it by assigning a different class to every other row but when you sort it keeps the class. -- is there a way to change the background color of every other row in javascript that I can use with the above script? Due to a long story which we don't need to go into here I am trying to change the color of a link after it has been clicked on WITHOUT using CSS. When the link is clicked some javascript is called. I can do this in IE by adding this "this.style.color = 'black'". However this doesn't work in other browsers. Anyone know how I could get this to work in other browsers? I've spend hours on this... Thanks for yuor time! Still need assistance, thanks Okay, so here's an example code of what I'm needing: Code: <html> <head> <title></title> <style type="text/css"> #greenrow { background-color:#090; } #redrow { background-color:#F00; } </style> <script type="text/javascript"> if (calculate.level.value >= calculate.getElementById('shrimp').value){ class = greenrow; } else { class = redrow; } </script> </head> <body> <form name="calculate"> <table> <tr> <td><label> Level<input name="level" type="text" size="5" /></label> </td> </tr> <tr id="shrimp"> <td>Shrimp</td> <td align="center"><label> <input type="text" name="shrimp" /> </label></td> <td colspan="3" align="left">10</td> </tr> </table> </form> </body> </html> Okay so what I want to be done is to get information from the input text area "level" and IF "level" is >= 10...for this one certain row, I want it to get the class #greenrow. Else, class = #redrow. Thanks I have a number var number = 1,235.326232 I need to display it like following with the last 4 numbers in red. 1,235.32 6232 I have tried number.slice(0,-4)+"<font color='red'>"+number.substr(number.length-5,4); however it keeps messing up the comma and decimal placement. Hi guys, Am creating a web page in which a user searches a customer using customer id. The results are then displayed in a table. This is working fine. In addition to this, I have created another form in which a user enters a value in a textbox. This value is then compared to the results obtained in the previous table.The values below should be shown in green and those above in red (identical values may be shown in amber). This should be acomplished using javascript. My code is as shown below: PHP Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>Search Script</title> <script type="text/javascript"> function hallo(){ var value1=200 var inputVal = window.document.getElementById("one").value; //alert(negNum); if(inputVal > value1){ window.document.getElementById("color").style.color="red"; } else if(inputVal < value1) { window.document.getElementById("color").style.color="green"; } else if(inputVal == value1) { window.document.getElementById("color").style.color="#FF7E00"; } } </script> </head> <body> <form> Value1: <input type="text" name="one" id="one" ><br/> Value2: <input type="text" name="two" id="two" value="" onClick="hallo();"> <br/> Value3: <input type="text" name="three" id="$cell" value="test data"> </form> <?Php require_once("database.php"); $CustID=$_POST['CustomerID']; $query="SELECT c.*,r.Meter_No,r.January,r.February,r.March,r.April,r.May,r.June FROM customer AS c,readings AS r WHERE c.CustomerID=r.CustomerID AND c.CustomerID='".$CustID."'"; $result=mysql_query($query) ; //If no matching records are found in the database,the code below will display a customized error message $num=mysql_numrows($result)or die("No Matching Records Found In The Database!"); $fields_num = mysql_num_fields($result); echo "<h3>Historical Meter Readings</h3>"; echo "<table border='0'cellspacing='5' cellpadding='5' id ='three'><tr>"; // printing table headers for($i=0; $i<$fields_num; $i++) { $field = mysql_fetch_field($result); echo "<td >{$field->name}</td>"; } echo "</tr>\n"; // printing table rows while($row = mysql_fetch_row($result)) { echo "<tr id='color'>"; // $row is array... foreach( .. ) puts every element // of $row to $cell variable foreach($row as $cell) echo "<td align='center' <font face='Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif' >$cell</td>"; echo "</tr >\n"; } mysql_free_result($result); ?> </body> </html> Currently my javascript code changes the entire row in the table, which is not I desired. How do I edit this script so that only values in particular CELL in a row e.g CELL 5, is changed and not the entire row? Thank you.

I have a simple html document that is dynamically created. It comes to me like this: <body> 432 (Locked) (Disabled) <br /> 545 (Unlocked) (Enabled) <br /> 756 (Unlocked) (Disabled) <br /> </body> The actual list is much longer and varies in length. What I am attempting to do is when a user opens the page, if a line contains Locked or Disabled, change the color of those words (or the whole line that contains them) to red. Thanks |
