Trouble changing bgColor

[lumberjake2]

when i call this in a function

	document.bgColor = "white";

it gives me this error, and doesnt change the bgcolor

Warning: Element referenced by ID/NAME in the global scope. Use W3C standard document.getElementById() instead.

how do i get the bgcolor element in an object using getElementById?
Or how do i make this work?

document.body.style.backgroundColor='#fff';
