back ground color not changing

[Blobishthing]

I have this script where it gets a random number and from that if it is less than 56 the bgColor is green if it is more than 56 the bgColor is black but it is always black
here is the script...

<script language=&quot;JavaScript&quot; type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;>
<!--
now = new Date()
num = now.getSeconds() + now.getMinutes() + now.getHours()

if(num <= 56)
{
document.bgColor=&quot;green&quot;;
}
if(num > 57)
{
document.bgColor=&quot;black&quot;;
}
if(document.bgColor=&quot;black&quot
{
document.fgColor=&quot;white&quot;;
}
document.write(num);
//-->
</script>

Your statement:
if(document.bgColor=&quot;black&quot
sets the bgColor to black
you have to use == to evaluate 2 values like so:
if(document.bgColor==&quot;black&quot
