thanks for teh help vera. just out of curosity how are the codes I posted different than the one you posted? maybe that will show us where the mistake was

[Vera]

Theres just a small difference, but I'm not sure if it really matters, but you can try

<select onfiltered="document.bgColor=this.options
[this.selectedIndex].value">
<option>Background Color</option>
<option value="red">Red</option>
<option value="blue">Blue</option>
<option value="green">Green</option>
<option value="purple">Purple</option>
<option value="yellow">Yellow</option>
<option value="orange">Orange</option>
<option value="pink">Pink</option>
<option value="gray">Gray</option>
<option value="chocolate">Chocolate</option>
<option value="black">Black</option>
</select>

<select onChange="document.bgColor=this.options[this.selectedIndex].value">
<option>Background Color</option>
<option value="red">Red</option>
<option value="blue">Blue</option>
<option value="green">Green</option>
<option value="purple">Purple</option>
<option value="yellow">Yellow</option>
<option value="orange">Orange</option>
<option value="pink">Pink</option>
<option value="gray">Gray</option>
<option value="chocolate">Chocolate</option>
<option value="black">Black</option>
</select>

[jesusjunkie]

it's getting closer...it changes the color now but only while you have your mouse button pressed.

[Vera]

are you saying that the second you click the color goes back to the original? thats strange, it worked fine on my forum, well... once you click on a board/post then it goes back to the original color. same as on this forum

[jesusjunkie]

i think i found the problem and it is NOT the code. i believe it is because i have a pre-made skin on my board. i have a test board that does NOT have a skin and this code works just fine.
sorry to put everyone thru so many crap.

[Vera]

its ok
