How do you change the background color in JavaScript?

We can change the background color using the backgroundColor property in JavaScript. To use this property, you need to get the element whose background color you want to change, and then you can use the backgroundColor property to set the background color.

Try this:

function btnClick() {     var x = document.getElementById("mytable").getElementsByTagName("td");     x[0].innerHTML = "i want to change my cell color";     x[0].style.backgroundColor = "yellow";             } 

Set from JS, backgroundColor is the equivalent of background-color in your style-sheet.

Note also that the .cells collection belongs to a table row, not to the table itself. To get all the cells from all rows you can instead use getElementsByTagName().

<table border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding= "20">     <tr>     <td id="id1" ></td>     </tr> </table> <script>     document.getElementById('id1').style.backgroundColor='#003F87'; </script> 

Put id for cell and then change background of the cell.
