Change CSS class with Java

Hi,

Okay, I have the follwoing in my html page:

<td nowrap valign="top" width="500"><select name="color" onchange="change(1)">
<option selected value>Select New Color?
<option value="#ffffff">White
<option value="#ff0000">Red
</option>
</select>&nbsp;&nbsp; <input maxlength="7" name="decoy" size="7" value="#000000"></td>
<td nowrap valign="top" width="50" class="1" id="test">

You see that when the option thing is changed it sends a command to a Java script. The script then writes the hex-code into the field right beside it and converts the hex-code into a css-class definition.

Now I want the Class of the id-object "test" to be changed into the class definition.
I want that so that I can let a user select a color and then see the actual color without having to submit the page to a perl script.

uh... anybody understood what I meant?

in your function change(var), simply say:

test.className = var;

that will place change the style class for the DOM object test to be what ever you pass into the function change.

First opf all, MANY thanks for the help! (Okay, it was easy, but still it helped me a LOT)

It doesn't work with NE, though. Anybody knows why?

I use this:
entry=window.document.colorset.bgcolor.value;
window.document.colorset.bgcolorview.value=entry;

to pass the entry back to the field. Is that the Layer difference from NE? What would be the approbriate call in NE?


------------------

For NS.
Give your <div a name ie <div id="john"

then : document.john.document.colorset.bgcolor.value;
window.document.colorset.bgcolorview.value=entry;

should work ??
