hi,
i am new to javascript and want to do two things. first, i'd like to change
the font color of text that is in a particular <td> tag. how do i do that (i
can change the background color, but i can't seem to figure out the font
color)?
also, i have an array of book titles and i would like the web user to be
able to be able to search through them. thanks so much. this is the code:

function findBook() {
var i;
var found = 0;
var title = new Array("Death in Venice", "A portrait of the artist as a
young man", "A room with a view", "The house of spirits", "Of love and
shadows");
for(i = 0; i < title.length; i++) {
if(title[i] =~ /document.myform.title.value/) {
//title[i].test(document.myform.title.value)) {
document.myform.description.value = description[i];
found = 1;
break;
}
}
if(!found) {
document.myform.description.value = "Book not found";
}
return true;
}
