How Do I Change the Color of Text in Javascript?

[Egghead]

Hey all, I am working on just an experimental website right now; I learned the basics of html, xhtml, and css, so the site has elements of each; anyways, now I am learning Javscript so I can then learn XML afterwards. But my question is, for the text displayed in Javascript, how do I change the color of it? I have a black background on my website, so the text from the Javascript is not viewable unless I change the background to a different color. The regular text from the html is viewable because I changed its color, first via html, and then via a css, but I can't figure out how to change the text color of the Javascript text. How do I do this?Thanks,---Egghead---

<div id="mytext"></div><script> var wrapper = document.getElementById("mytext"); wrapper.style.color = "#ffffff"; //white wrapper.appendChild(document.createTextNode("some new text"));</script>
