Obsolete
This feature is obsolete. Although it may still work in some browsers, its use is discouraged since it could be removed at any time. Try to avoid using it.
The obsolete HTMLFontElement.color property is a DOMString that reflects the color HTML attribute, containing either a named color or a color specified in the hexadecimal #RRGGBB format.
The format of the string must follow one of the following HTML microsyntaxes:
| Microsyntax | Description | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Valid name color string | nameOfColor (case insensitive) | GreengreenGREEN |
| Valid hex color string | in rgb format: #RRGGBB |
#008000 |
| RGB using decimal values | rgb(x,x,x) (x in 0-255 range) |
rgb(0,128,0) |
Syntax
colorString = fontObj.color; fontObj.color = colorString;
Examples
// Assumes there is <font id="f"> element in the HTML
var f = document.getElementById("f");
f.color = "green";
Specifications
The <font> tag is not supported in HTML5 and as a result neither is <font>.color.
