JavaScript

I was wondering if any of you could help me on this little diversion I've had lately. What I want to do is obtain the ability to change the background of a cell with an onclick. I've tried this...

Code:

<html>

<head>
<title>Test 3</title>
</head>

<body>

<table width="450" height="125">

<tr>
<td bgcolor="#555555" name="test_cell"></td>
</tr>

</table>

<a href="#" onclick="document.test_cell.bgcolor='#587DA7';">ONE</a>

</body>
</html>

Along with several other variants. However it claims that "document.test_cell" is null or undefined. Any ideas?

Javascript is a pain, I do not use it enough to really know it..

I would try document.tables.test_cell.bgcolor

It has something to do with DOM, or Document Object Model.. or how everything in an HTML page is classified..

If mine does not help, look for a mouseover that does the same thing, and just put it in your OnClick attribute.
