I am new to JavaScript, and I am playing with this line of code that to my knowledge is correct but it will not run. The code is:

<body onmousedown="document.bgcolor='#0000CC'">

I press the left mouse button down and it doesn't work; any ideas as to why?

without checking I believe the function is onMouseDown not onmousedown. Javascript functions are case senstive.

I have this <body onMouseDown="document.bgcolor='blue'"> and it still isn't changing the bgcolor. Anyone know why that is?

Code:

function updateBody()
{
    document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0].style.background = 'blue';
}

document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0].onmousedown = updateBody;

document.bgcolor isn't a valid...
