Is it possible to define a variable in JavaScript to represent a web colour, like this?

...
var bgcolor = "'FF0033"
...

Hi

Let us see...

[blue]>>> typeof document.body.style.color[/blue]
[red]"string"[/red]

So colors are stored as strings. So, yes, you can store colors as strings in JavaScript variables.

But note that 'FF0033 is not a valid color. Hexadecimal color codes have to be prefixed with a hash ( # ) sign :

[b]var[/b] bgcolor     [teal]=[/teal] [green][i]"[highlight]#[/highlight]FF0033"[/i][/green]
