I have tried to use the script from this thread but have been unable to get it to work.  
[http://www.kirupaforum.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=12677&highlight=change+html+color](http://www.kirupaforum.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=12677&highlight=change+html+color)

I placed this between the \<head\> tags

```php

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--
function changeColor(color){
document.bgColor = color;
}
-->
</SCRIPT>

```

I placed this on a buttton  
[AS]  
on (release){  
getURL(“about :changeColor(’#E6E6E6’)”);  
}  
[/AS]

when I click on the button it changes pages; the address it shows is…

C:\Documents and Settings\admin\Desktop\about :changeColor(’#E6E6E6’)

It must be something simple that I dont know about, could someone please tell me what I may have done wrong ?
