help w/ a background change script

[kim gick]

need a little assistance with this script which takes a screen and puts radio dials with colors and asks the user to select a screen color ... this is what i have so far:

  
HTML>HEAD>TITLE>Radio Button/TITLE>
SCRIPT language=JavaScript>
!--
function changeColor() 
{   
 document.bgColor=bColor
}
// -->
/SCRIPT>
/HEAD>
BODY>
FORM name=form1>
    INPUT name=bColor type=radio value="document.bgColor='Red' ">Red BR>
BR>INPUT name=bColor type=radio value="document.bgColor='Green' ">Green BR>
BR>INPUT name=bColor type=radio value="document.bgColor='Blue' ">Blue BR>
BR>INPUT name=bColor type=radio value="document.bgColor='Yellow' ">Yellow BR>
BR>INPUT name=change thisiswhereonclickis=changeColor() type=button value="change background color"> 
/FORM>/BODY>/HTML>

thanks for your help!!

(this relates to your other question about posting code...
The UBB software has some 'code parsing stuff' to test the safety of the code posted. Sometimes posted code can interfere with the HTML on the page or some of the Javascript, so UBB tries to detect and disallow it.
The easiest way to fix the problem you are having is to replace all < symbols with &lt;
DOM)
