What's this? A DIV element filled with content that /looks/ like CSS?
how do I dynamically change the color to #FF85AA, or any other hex number???

There is no /color/ specified, just ordinary text.

Ignoring the obvious errors...
There is no way to do so with either HTML or CSS.

var c=16777215;//= = "FFFFFF" HEX

snippet in a javascript function

document.getElementById('tested').style.background Color="#"+c.toString
(16).toUpperCase();

you can also do

var c=0xffffff; // white

where hex notation is more convenient

snippet in a javascript function

document.getElementById('tested').style.background Color="#"+c.toString
(16).toUpperCase();

this however will only work correctly where c < 0xfffff for obvious
reasons... it's not that hard to fix.

in many cases if may be more convenint to do

document.getElementById('tested').style.background Color="#FFFFFF"

AIUI hex colours in stylesheets aren't case sensitive.
#FFF ia equivalent to #fff

No, there is not. The solution you found is Javascript that uses DOM to
change the color. That is neither HTML nor CSS.

Grief I don't understand, I thought that JavaScript was using CSS to change
the color. What then is happening?

To be sure I understand, 0x before the number makes it a Hex number,
correct?

Javascript is accessing the DOM (Document Object Model) and changing its
properties. See <http://www.w3.org/DOM/>.
