function changeto(highlightcolor){
source=event.srcElement
if (source.tagName=="TR"| |source.tagName=="TABLE")
return
while(source.tagName!="TD")
source=source.parentElement
if (source.style.backgroundColor!=highlightcolor&&source.id!="ignore")
source.style.backgroundColor=highlightcolor
}

function changeback(originalcolor){
if (event.fromElement.contains(event.toElement)| |source.contains(event.toElement)| |source.id=="ignore")
return
if (event.toElement!=source)
source.style.backgroundColor=originalcolor
}
</script>

Then use the tag below in your table tags.

Enjoy playing with this opne

You need to change the background color of your table data cell. the format is

code:---------

<table><tr><td bgcolor="Black">
This is just dumb info to fill the table
</td></tr></table>

the key is "bgcolor="Black"" just edit that with your designated color and you got a painted table background.

I have found that sometimes older versions of netscape don't like to show the bgcolor. So on occasion I use a 1x1 pixel image and tile it for my bgcolor.

Just some extra info.
