Set the bgcolor attribute value

Hi,

The following doesn’t work:

[CODE]<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<title>Test</title>
<embed id=”foo” src=”http://www.w3schools.com/media/bookmark.swf” width=”400″ height=”40″ type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” />

<script type=”text/javascript”>
document.getElementById(“foo”).setAttribute(“bgcolor”, “#00FF00”);
</script>[/CODE]

But if you change [I]setAttribute[/I] to [I](“width”, “800”)[/I], it works with no problem! What am I missing?

Any help is appreciated!
Mike

document.getElementById("some_element").style.backgroundColor="some_color";

IE8 and the latest versions of Firefox, Chrome, Opera and Safari. But as you said it works in IE8.

Thanks for the answers, but they are two different things. To see what I mean please try adding bgcolor="#00FF00" to the embed code and compare it with changing the style background color.

Success!
