How do I change the colour of a document.write text after a few seconds with setInterval or setTimeout?

If you call document.write() after the page loads you're going to clear all the contents of the page, so it wouldn't work.What I recommend is to have an element to hold the text in and modify the text there:----The node to hold the text:<span id="text"></span>----An exemplary function:function doSomething() {document.getElementById("text").firstChild.nodeValue = "some text";document.getElementById("text").style.color = "red";}

<script type="text/javascript">	function changecolor(item) {		var text = document.getElementById(item);		if (text.style.color == "#FF0000") text.style.color = "#0000FF";		else text.style.color = "#FF0000";	}	window.onload = function() { setInterval("changecolor(\"text\")", 1000); }</script><div id="text">This text will change color red/blue in one second intevals.</div>
