I am creating a form that uses radio buttons for one of my questions.
I wish for the radio buttons to change the background colour (each holding a different value)
eg. button 1 changes to red while 2. changes it to blue.
JavaScript
function changeColour() {
if("r")
document.body.style.backgroundColour="#FF0000";
if("b")
document.body.style.backgroundColour="#0000FF";
if("p")
document.body.style.backgroundColour="#FF00FF";
}
HTML
<div id= "genre">
What do you bust a move to?
<form name="music" method="post" action="">
<p>
<input type="radio" name="music" value="radio" onBlur="changeColour("b")">Blues
<input type="radio" name="music" value="radio" onBlur="changeColour("r")">Rock
<input type="radio" name="music" value="radio" onBlur="changeColour("p")">Pop
</form>
</div>
I am new to this so any help is welcome. Thanks.
You were close. I changed events to onclick and it's backgroundColor not Colour. Here's an example - http://jsfiddle.net/6jt8h/

function changeColour(value)
{
var color = document.body.style.backgroundColor;
switch(value)
{
case 'b':
color = "#FF0000";
break;
case 'r':
color = "#0000FF";
break;
case 'p':
color = "#FF00FF";
break;
}
document.body.style.backgroundColor = color;
}
