Not sure if you want it to keep going or not, but this works:

<html>
<head>
<title>Looping</title>
<script language="Javascript">
colors = new Array (9);
colors[0] = "#f0f0f0";
colors[1] = "#ff0000";
colors[2] = "#00ff00";
colors[3] = "#0000ff";
colors[4] = "#ffff00";
colors[5] = "#ff00ff";
colors[6] = "#00ffff";
colors[7] = "#ffffff";
colors[8] = "#ff0099";
for(i=0;i<colors.length;i++)
document.bgColor=colors[i];
</script>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>

Your line...

document.bgcolor = colors[i]

should read...

document.bgColor = colors[i]



Sux that such a minor mistake will screw with you, huh? I hate that.

Just remember, JavaScript is case-sensetive. ;)

I don't know what you have this for, but:

for (j="0; j<1000; j++);{}

should be:

for (j=0; j<1000; j++);{}
