JS text color prob in Nscape

I have a bookmark script on my page which displays text in the intended green color in IE but the ctrl D comment for netscape users is in black only which will not show up on my dark bkgr pages. Since I am not going to change the background, is there a way to make the NS comment to be in a color which WILL show up? this code uses a text message as well as a graphic. code is below:

<div id="bookmark" style="position:absolute; left:200px; top:200px; width:200px; height:69px; z-index:10">
<body link="#66CC66" vlink="#66CC66" alink="#999999">
<font size="2" face="Arial">
<script>
var txt = " <img src='images/its_favicon.gif' border='0'><br>Bookmark something"
var url = "http://www.something.com";
var who = "ITS"
var ver = navigator.appName
var num = parseInt(navigator.appVersion)
if ((ver == "Microsoft Internet Explorer")&&(num >= 4)) {
document.write('<A HREF="javascript:window.external.AddFavorite(url,who);" ');
document.write('onMouseOver=" window.status=')
document.write("txt; return true ")
document.write('"onMouseOut=" window.status=')
document.write("' '; return true ")
document.write('">'+ txt + '</a>')
}else{
txt += " (Ctrl+D)"
document.write(txt)
}
</script></font>
</div>

Hi,

Since its not a link and the color is based upon your a attributes in the body tag it isn't working. There's a way around it though if you include a fontcolor() method at the end of the txt string:

Code:


<script> 
var txt = " <img src='images/its_favicon.gif' border='0'>"
txt += "<br>Bookmark something".fontcolor('#66cc66');   
var url = "http://www.something.com"; 
var who = "ITS" 
var ver = navigator.appName 
var num = parseInt(navigator.appVersion) 
if ((ver == "Microsoft Internet Explorer")&&(num >= 4)) { 
document.write('<A HREF="javascript:window.external.AddFavorite(url,who);" '); 
document.write('onMouseOver=" window.status=') 
document.write("txt; return true ") 
document.write('"onMouseOut=" window.status=') 
document.write("' '; return true ") 
document.write('">'+ txt + '</a>') 
}else{ 
txt += " (Ctrl+D)".fontcolor('#66cc66');  
document.write(txt) 
} 
</script>
