Background Color Changer: Link Click

Script Introduction

This script will allow your viewers to change the background color of your page when they click a link.

Cut and Paste Code: BODY Section
This code should be placed between the <body> and </body> tags.

Installation Instructions

  1. Paste the BODY Section code from above between the <body> and </body> tags on your page, exactly where you want the links to appear.
  2. Find the matching lines below in the script and change the text in red to the text you wish to use:

    my_color[0]="lime";
    my_color[1]="orange";
    my_color[2]="lightblue";
    my_color[3]="pink";
    my_color[4]="white";
    <a href="javascript:get_color(0)">Lime</a>
    <a href="javascript:get_color(1)">Orange</a>
    <a href="javascript:get_color(2)">Light Blue</a>
    <a href="javascript:get_color(3)">Pink</a>
    <a href="javascript:get_color(4)">Back</a>

  3. Check the Format Window to be sure you do not have one single line of code, or too many line breaks in the code.
