Question

I want to send the background color of an element to a function using javascript for example:

<td style="background-color:#ff0000" onClick="getColor()"></td>

Could anyone please give me a pointer as to what I have to do in the getColor() function?

Answer 1

change this to:

<td style="background-color:#ff0000" onClick="getColor(this)"></td>

And this would be the javasctipt:

getColor(elem){
    alert(elem.style.backgroundColor);
}
