I'm trying to set a submit button to change text and color when clicked.
Like saying "please wait" instead of "submit" and then changing the
background color and text color. All works, except for changing the text
color.
I can set style.background='red' to change the background color to red.
But if I say style.color='green' to change the text color, it does not
change. How do you change the text color on a button when it is clicked?
Funny, it worked fine for me in IE6 and NN7.2.
What browser are you trying to get it to work in? It won't work in all
browsers, though it should work in all that support the element.style
property AFAIK.
