var obj = document.getElementById("div1");

obj.style.backgroundColor = "#FF0000";

This works in al browsers except Safari 1.3.2

Any ideas how to resolve this?
 
I've never heard of that not working in safari before, however I don't have a mac to prove or disprove that notion (I did not find anything about it from a google search, however)

However, there are alternatives to changing background colors:
Code:
<style type="text/css">
.bg {
   background-color:#ff0000;
}
</style>
<script type="text/javascript">
var obj = document.getElementById("div1");
obj.className = "bg"
</script>
