124492 - Table style background color cannot be changed via javascript

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 91443

(Core :: CSS Parsing and Computation, defect)

Description

[Joel Roller]

Using javascript getElementbyID(elem_id).style.backgroundcolor= when elem_id is
a <table> element only works once.   Other element types <div>, <tr>, etc, seem
to be able to change colors multiple times just fine.

When the element is viewed in the DOM inspector, it will show that
background-color has been set, but the browser only displays the first color
that it was set to.

Attachment: Color changing demo

Test case allowing you to click and change background color of various
elements.  Table will change colors only once.	 (TR doesn't change colors
after TD background has been set, but that actually makes sense)

Style system.  This is yet another "dynamic style changes on tables don't work"
bug (pierre already has a few).
