Punctuation is okay, and because of alert boxes I have now removed, I know the function is called. I think you are right about the number sign, and that is my main problem. I will give that a try, thanks.
Have a great day, Alex

Hi Alex,
So what happens when you try to run the script? Do you get the
alert box
or does the colour just not change?
A couple of things:
1. Check the line that says:
bx=document.getElementById("box"
If punctuation isn't getting mangled in your email, you need to
add a
closing bracket and a semicolon to the end of this line.
2. You need to put a hash sign # in front of the hex colour,
example
#33ffcc .
Cheers, Lynn

Okay, I am getting annoyed! My simple, 500x500 px box is still
not
showing. Below is the code to make the box, followed by the
function
that I use to update said box's color (the form fields are okay,
and the
translation to hex works). As usual, my email will lack
punctuation, so
ignore things like missing < or > signs, semicolons, braces, and
so on.
Box code: <div align="center" id="box" style="height:500; width:500; color:black"></div
Script to change box's color to the codes in three text boxes,
one for
red, one for green, and one for blue:
<script language="javascript"
function update(){
try{
red=eval(f.r.value).toString(16);
green=eval(f.g.value).toString(16);
blue=eval(f.b.value).toString(16);
if(red.length==1){
red=0+""+red;
if(green.length==1){
green=0+""+green;
if(blue.length==1){
blue=0+""+blue;
col=red+""+green+""+blue;
bx=document.getElementById("box"
bx.style.color=col;
document.getElementById("eml").innerHTML="Code: "+col+"<br><a
href='mailto:mehgcap@xxxxxxx"subject="+col+";'>Email me the
color</a>";
catch(e){
alert(e+" in update(): "+e.description);
</script
