OnClick and change color

[nma]

Hi
How do I make the cell change color to 'black' after I click on it. The cell will remain black color until I click another cell which will also change to black. I can do the mouseover and mouseout correctly only to make it change color to black once I click on it.

Could someone help?

If you set the background onclick the onmouseout will change the background colour again. You will need to set a variable and check for this onmouseout if you want to avoid this.

Assuming that that is the problem, declare a global variable, say clicked, to false. Then in the onclick add "clicked = false;". In onmouseout add "if (!clicked)" at the beginning so that if it's been clicked the mouse-out will not change the black background.
