Triche,

yes, might be a bug in NN6 (and Mozilla too).

I have found that when you specify body background color in a style
declaration (which is a perfectly correct way), it becomes impossible to
change it dynamically afterwards.

A workaround would be to move the background color declaration from the
style tag into the body element like:

bodybg = document.getElementsByTagName('body').item(0) ;
bodybg.setAttribute('style','background-color:#333333;') ;

hih,

JJS.
