javascript cell background image

Hi Everyone,

I'm very, very new to javascript, but I want to access a cell's background image to change it dynamically. I believe it has something to do with the style property, but I cannot seem to find it. If anyone could help me, I'd appreciate it.

By the by, I'm trying to access the property through this manner:

document.getElementsByName("TestCell")[0].style

I can change the background COLOR, but not an image that is placed there. Kind of odd and I know it's possible, but I don't know it.

Thank you if anyone can help me.

Code:

---

document.getElementById('TestCell).style.background = '#ff0000';

---

or you can use getElementByName ... i just always use Id for some reason (i put both in my element though to be safe).
Hope that helps :)

I know how to change the color, not a background image. How do you change a background image for a cell???

lol... guess i need to learn how to read.

Code:

---

document.getElementById('TestCell).style.backgroundImage = 'url(img/img.gif)';

---

Thank you, I appreciate it greatly. I should have figured it would have been that.

Not a problem. :)

By the way Mike, don't know if you know this already, but it's good that you use ID as NAME is gone in XHTML for most elements. :)
