Well isn't NS6.1 odd....
It appears that BOTH my example and the new.backgroundColor example work and
don't work...
As if you couldn't tell this is a background cell changer. ...and this code
is firing on the ONCLICK of each cell :) Here is the weirdness...
Say I have 3 cells wide table... Each named menu_item1, menu_item2 and
menu_item3 respectively. This code reverts the previous cell to the original
cell color and is part of the code to chage the newly clicked cell to a
different color..
document.getElementById
(CurrentHighlightedCell).style.backgroundColor='#006600';
Say I click through each cell consecutively. menu_item1, menu_item2 and then
menu_item3 it changes each cell to the new color and the code above
CORRECLTY changes the color back on the previous cell. That works perfect.
Now the weirdness.. Say I click on menu_item3, it changes menu_item1 back to
the original color fine... but then I click on menu_item2, it DOES NOT
change the color back on menu_item3 using the above code. I double checked
and the variables are correct.. Very odd... IS there another DOM way to
reference this?
