When i was looking over your code it looks as though you're comparing
a literal value where you may be looking for a property of the
document element.
>> if (tabs[x] !== chosen)
chosen is a variable, tabs is an array of string values, how is this
intended to work?
Perhaps you were looking for a conditional more like
if(target.chosen)
target.style.backGroundColor= "white"
