choosing a color from a pop-up 1

[ilmaggy]

Hi,

I made a pop-up with a colour palette in which users can select a color. The color code is then 'sent' back to the main page in a text field of a form.
This is the script I used:
the pop-up:
function r(hval)
{
opener.document.formname.fieldname.value=hval;
self.close();
}

the main page:
<FORM NAME="formname" action="action.php" method="POST">
<input type="text" name="fieldname" value="">
</form>

But now I want the selected color to be the background color of a table instead of the color code in the textfield.
To make it the background color of the whole page i can use opener.document.bgColor but I couldn't find the right piece of javascript for only the background color of a table or cel.
Could anyone help me with this?
Thanking you in advance,
ruben.

function returnColor(clr)
{
  opener.document.getElementById('cell').style.backgroundColor = clr;
}
// opener
<table>
 <tr>
  <td id="cell"></td>
 </tr>
</table>
