[edit] Syntax
fontcolor(color)
[edit] Parameters
-
color - A string expressing the color as a hexadecimal RGB triplet or as a string literal. String literals for color names are listed in the Core JavaScript 1.5 Guide.
[edit] Description
Use the fontcolor method with the write or writeln methods to format and display a string in a document. In server-side JavaScript, use the write function to display the string.
If you express color as a hexadecimal RGB triplet, you must use the format rrggbb. For example, the hexadecimal RGB values for salmon are red=FA, green=80, and blue=72, so the RGB triplet for salmon is "FA8072".
The fontcolor method overrides a value set in the fgColor property.
[edit] Examples
[edit] Example: Using fontcolor
The following example uses the fontcolor method to change the color of a string:
var worldString="Hello, world"
document.write(worldString.fontcolor("maroon") +
" is maroon in this line")
document.write("<P>" + worldString.fontcolor("salmon") +
" is salmon in this line")
document.write("<P>" + worldString.fontcolor("red") +
" is red in this line")
document.write("<P>" + worldString.fontcolor("8000") +
" is maroon in hexadecimal in this line")
document.write("<P>" + worldString.fontcolor("FA8072") +
" is salmon in hexadecimal in this line")
document.write("<P>" + worldString.fontcolor("FF00") +
" is red in hexadecimal in this line")
The previous example produces the same output as the following HTML:
<FONT COLOR="maroon">Hello, world</FONT> is maroon in this line <P><FONT COLOR="salmon">Hello, world</FONT> is salmon in this line <P><FONT COLOR="red">Hello, world</FONT> is red in this line <P><FONT COLOR="8000">Hello, world</FONT> is maroon in hexadecimal in this line <P><FONT COLOR="FA8072">Hello, world</FONT> is salmon in hexadecimal in this line <P><FONT COLOR="FF00">Hello, world</FONT> is red in hexadecimal in this line
