Name
bgColor — NN 2 IE 3 DOM n/a
Synopsis
Read/Write
Background color of the element. This color setting is not reflected
in the style sheet backgroundColor
property except
for Navigator LAYER
objects. Even if the
BGCOLOR
attribute or bgColor
property is set with a plain-language color name, the returned value
is always a hexadecimal triplet.
Setting the bgColor
property of a document in
Navigator 2 or 3 for Macintosh or Unix does not properly redraw the
window. Window content is obscured by the new color on those
platforms.
Example
document.bgColor = "yellow"
Value
A hexadecimal triplet or plain-language color name. See Appendix A for acceptable plain-language color names.
Default
Varies with browser and operating system.
