Setting <DIV> Background with JS

[MC]

Hi,

I am trying to set the background color of a div using js.

The error I get in IE is document.myform.mydiv.style is null or not an
object.

Ideas?

Thanks,
MC

document.getElementById('mydiv').style.backgroundColor = 'red';

Joost,

Getting by ID instead of direct element reference did get the object, but
did not change the background.

So what happens if you set the style's background color in the HTML directly?

Try using runtimeStyle /currentStyle..that should work..but this wont
work in any other browser
