Here you go..you did not need to use the eval function there


document.write("<form><input type='button' value='Silver' onClick='document.bgColor=silvervar'></form>");
document.write("<form><input type='button' value='White' onClick='document.bgColor=whitevar'></form>");
document.write("<form><input type='button' value='reset' onClick='document.bgColor=resetvar'></form>");


Hope this helps

Nope. It still isn't working for me without the eval function.

Then there is something other then the code you posted that is causing the problem.
I have tested the above piece on NS6+/IE6 browsers on Win2k platform..
I can post a link of working code example iof you want to see it..

yes Khalid it is working now. A problem I had was this:

onClick='document.bgColor=silvervar'></form>");

but in the original (b4 u changed it)

onClick='document.bgColor='silvervar'></form>");

this tiny slip!

Thanks 4 your help
