HTMLTableCellElement: bgColor property

The HTMLTableCellElement.bgColor property is used to set the background color of a cell or get the value of the obsolete bgColor attribute, if present.

[!NOTE] This property is deprecated and CSS should be used to set the background color. Use the background-color property instead.

Value

One of the following value types can be used:

• a named color, like red or blue
• a hex code, like #0000dd or #00d

[!NOTE] The values accepted here are a limited subset of the CSS color values. Only named-color and 3- or 6-digit hex-color (with no alpha-channel). While all HTML color values are valid in CSS, this is not true in the other direction.

Examples

Use CSS background-color instead. An example of using background-color with HTML table elements is available on the background-color page.
