Can you change the bgColor for a form element in Netscape??

[liefr]

I am doing maintenance on a system using Netscape Communicator 4.73. The system is TCL with Javascript. I would like to change the bgColor when a field on my form is left out or fails an edit but using document.form.field.bgColor causes a javascript error. I found a comment in Doc javaScript that indicates the style.backgroundColor only works in IE. Does anyone know how this is done in Netscape?

I believe you have to reference it like so:<br><br>document.divID.bgColor = &quot;red&quot;<br><br>if you are a layer down eg.<br>&lt;div id=divID name=divName&gt;<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&lt;span id=&quot;spanID&quot; name=&quot;spanName&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;<br>&lt;/div&gt;<br><br>This would be referenced like so:<br><br>document.divID.document.spanName.bgcolor = &quot;red&quot;<br><br>For more help, see:<br><br><A HREF="
