Causes a string to be displayed in the specified color as if it were in a <FONT COLOR=color> tag.
String
fontcolor(color)
color
A string expressing the color as a hexadecimal RGB triplet or as a string literal. String literals for color names are listed in Appendix B, "Color Values," in the JavaScript Guide.
Use the fontcolor method with the Write method to format and display a string in a document.
If you express color as a hexadecimal RGB triplet, you must use the format rrggbb. For example, the hexadecimal RGB values for salmon are red=FA, green=80, and blue=72, so the RGB triplet for salmon is "FA8072".
The fontcolor method overrides a value set in the fgColor property.
The following example uses the fontcolor method to change the color of a string:
var worldString="Hello, world"
Console.Write(worldString.fontcolor("maroon") +
" is maroon in this line")
Console.Write("<P>" + worldString.fontcolor("salmon") +
" is salmon in this line")
Console.Write("<P>" + worldString.fontcolor("red") +
" is red in this line")
Console.Write("<P>" + worldString.fontcolor("8000") +
" is maroon in hexadecimal in this line")
Console.Write("<P>" + worldString.fontcolor("FA8072") +
" is salmon in hexadecimal in this line")
Console.Write("<P>" + worldString.fontcolor("FF00") +
" is red in hexadecimal in this line")The previous example produces the same output as the following HTML:
<FONT COLOR="maroon">Hello, world</FONT> is maroon in this line <P><FONT COLOR="salmon">Hello, world</FONT> is salmon in this line <P><FONT COLOR="red">Hello, world</FONT> is red in this line <FONT COLOR="8000">Hello, world</FONT> is maroon in hexadecimal in this line <P><FONT COLOR="FA8072">Hello, world</FONT> is salmon in hexadecimal in this line <P><FONT COLOR="FF00">Hello, world</FONT> is red in hexadecimal in this line
