Question

I have a <input> element that I want to change the background color on. The code I am currently using is this (but it is not working):

var allBlanksLoc = document.getElementById('text');
var allBlanks = allBlanksLoc.getElementsByTagName('input');

for(i=0; i<allBlanks.length; i++) {
var currentBlank = allBlanks[i];
var wordNum = blanks[i];
var blankWord = text[wordNum];
var usrAnswer = currentBlank.value;

if (usrAnswer != blankWord) {
currentBlank.style.backgroundColor = "red";
}
}

The third to last line being the most important

Update:

I fixed the camelCase on it but it still does not work. Any ideas of bugs there?

Are you sure that this script is running at the right time? If it runs before the page is fully formed, the appropriate elements might not be present.
