what properties are you accessing? and for some reason i'm thinking you're supposed to put the ID value in single quotes... might be wrong, but i think i've had to do that a few times.

could you put up the rest of the code? i might be able to help more

Yeah post up your full code and the html if you can. That would be helpful.

I thought it may have been the double quotes. However I tested it and it seems to work fine either way. The following code worked for me in IE6 and FF.

Code: Select all

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<script type="text/javascript">
    function changeColor() { 
    en = document.getElementById("name");
    en.style.background = '#333333';
    }
</script>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>

<body>
<div id="name" style="width:100px; height:100px; background:#009933;"></div>
<a href="javascript:changeColor();">Change Color</a>
</body>
