Hi, one part of my website is at: http://www.psych.nmsu.edu/~jkroger/lab/undergrads.html
I want to make the date at the top right darker blue.
But when I do that, all the light blue text next to
the pictures also changes.
How can I control the color of the result of
document.write output without changing the
forground color of the entire page? Note my
document write includes variables, so I was
hesitant to imbed an html command in the
document.write.
Thanks much in advance for any pointers....

var i=12345;
document.write("I'm GREEN text and here's a variable in red:
".fontcolor('green') +i.toString().fontcolor("red"));

Wrap it in a <span> with the appropriate colour. Your
"get date" function is a bit rough too, suggested
improvement below.
Using arrays for months and days is considerably more
efficient than your multiple if's.

HTML is not "commands", it is markup that is interpreted.
It may seem a trivial point, but there you go. You have
no other way of controlling the colour of the element
than using markup, so use it. I have used a span and style,
but you could use a class too.
<html>
<head>
<title>play</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
function clientDate(){
var months = ['January','February','March',
'April','May','June','July',
'August','September','October',
'November','','December'];
var days = ['Sunday','Monday','Tuesday',
'Wednesday','Thursday','Friday',
'Saturday'];
var now = new Date();
return days[now.getDay()]
+ ', ' + months[now.getMonth()]
+ ' ' + now.getDate()
+ ', ' + now.getFullYear();
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript">
document.write('<span style="color: #333366">' +
clientDate() + '</span>');

Empty string between Nov and Dec?

Quite right, but frankly I'd rather December was banished from the
calendar, then I'd not get any older...

Great place, usenet....

Say, Rob, why do you put the function declaration in the head, and the
call in the body?
Thanks

Because that's where you want the date to display.
