The obsolete HTMLFontElement

that reflects the color
HTML attribute, containing either a named color or a color specified in the hexadecimal #RRGGBB format.
The format of the string must follow one of the following HTML microsyntaxes:
Microsyntax | Description | Examples |
---|---|---|
Valid name color string | nameOfColor (case insensitive) | Green
|
Valid hex color string | in rgb format : #RRGGBB
|
#008000
|
RGB using decimal values | rgb(x,x,x) (x in 0-255 range) |
|
Syntax
colorString = fontObj.color; fontObj.color = colorString;
Examples
// Assumes there is <font id="f"> element in the HTML
var f = document.getElementById("f");
f.color = "green";
Specifications
The <font> tag is not supported in HTML5 and as a result neither is <font>.color
.
