Webmaster Forum / Browsers / Internet Explorer / April 2004

What I am trying to do is to change dynamically, the Background color of a
page by selecting a value in a set of options.
Ultimately the idea is to write that value to the registry, but first I want
to be able to dynamically change either the page BG color or the background
of the span ID="HexColorValue".
Below is what I cam up with and neddless to say does not work.
TIA

<FORM NAME="frmMain" method="post">
    <span ID="HexColorValue">Page Background Color:</span><br>
      <SELECT ID="oHexColorValue" SIZE="1"
onchange="Javascript:fnChangeBackGroundColor(this.options[this.selectedIndex
].value)">
         <OPTION VALUE="255,0,0">Red
         <OPTION VALUE="0,255,0">Green
         <OPTION VALUE="0,0,255">Blue
         <OPTION VALUE="None" SELECTED>None
        </SELECT>
        <INPUT TYPE="button" Name="btCreatePalette" Value="Change It"
onClick="ChangePageBackGroundColor(HexColorValue_value)"></INPUT>
       </FORM>
function fnChangeBackGroundColor(color)
{
alert(color);
document.all.HexColorValue.style.backgroundColor=document.all.oHexColorValue
.options[oHexColorValue.selectedIndex].value;
}
