function to set bgcolor 1

stephenbruceburch · Nov 9, 2002

I have a function getBGColor() that checks cookies to set a variable bgcolor (in form "#000000&quot

and if the user doesn't have cookies it sets the variable to a default color. Can I use this function in the HTML
ie
<body bgcolor="getBGColor();">
or
<body bgcolor=getBGColor();>
or
<body bgcolor="getBGColor()";>

I have tried all three and they don't seem to work but the problem might be somewhere else. I was hoping someone could point me to the right syntax - if it exists so I can continue to debug the rest of the code. thanks

see if this helps, not sure when you want to set the color

<html>
<head>
<title>Post</title>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="vbscript">

Sub changecolor
document.bgcolor = "red"
end sub
</Script>

</head>
<body>
<body topmargin="0" leftmargin="0" bgcolor="white" OnLoad="changecolor">
"This is a test message"
</Body>
</head>
</HTML> Regards
