Seems that you need to put a line such as document.write('blah'); above
document.bgColor = 'red'; before it will work.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
<html>
<head>
<title>This is a java script page</title>
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
alert('My first JavaScript program!');
document.write(',');
document.bgColor = 'red';
document.write("My text goes here!");
//-->
</script>
</head>
<body>
This is the body
</body>
</html>
Actual Results:
That works until the line above document.bgColor = 'red'; is removed
Expected Results:
Should work without that line.

note: setting bgColor from onload works just fine, as does setting it from link
click

seems to be exactly the case here: alert(document.body) alerts null in this
testcase (when put before the document.bgColor setting); and it alerts [object
HTMLBodyElement] if put after a document.write.
could this code just create the body element in such a case?

Not without majorly confusing the content sink if this is done during parsing.

We match HTML5 here. See <http://www.whatwg.org/html5/#dom-document-bgcolor>.
