Try this. This is just a simple drop down box that will change the background colour of a page to the one selected.


Changing Background Colours
<br />
<form>
<select name="color" onChange="document.bgColor=(this.form.color.value)">
<option value="#ffff00">Yellow</option>
<option value="#0000ff">Blue</option>
</select>
</form>

Hi and thankyou very much that worked a treat! But I need to know how to do it with a radio button!Any ideas?

I also need to know how to allow the user to selected multiple cells and rows in a tablel. Any ideas?

Oooo and I know I'm a real pain but wondered whether you'd tell me exactly whats happening in the bit of code below cos I like to know what is it the html is doing!

Thanks in advance for your help.

=(this.form.color.value)">

That line of code is telling the browser to set the bgcolor of the document (web page) to value of the form element selected. Here's how you do it with a radio button.

Pick a color
<br />
<form>
<input type="radio" onclick="document.bgColor='#ffff00'">Yellow<br />
<input type="radio" onclick="document.bgColor='#0000ff'">Blue<br />
</form>


You can't select multiple cells and rows in a standard html table. At least not in the way I'm thinking you are asking for.
