Changing button color programmatically

Question

Is there a way to change the color of a button, or at least the color of the button label programmatically? I can change the label itself with

document.getElementById("button").object.textElement.innerText = "newlabel"; 

But how to change the color?

Answer 1

I have finally found a working code - try this:

document.getElementById("button").style.background='#000000'; 

Answer 2

Here is an example using HTML:

<input type="button" value="click me" onclick="this.style.color='#000000'; this.style.backgroundColor = '#ffffff'" /> 

And here is an example using JavaScript:

document.getElementById("button").bgcolor="#Insert Color Here";
