How to change background colour of cell
Question
Bascially i am creating a lightboard 4x4 and i wish to light certain cells up in order, The id of the cell i wish to change background colour first is yellow1 is it something like this as it is not changing colour atm
Note: it is grey when the page loads ( #404040 )
Sorry for such short code earlier i was on mobile and thinking in my head. This is my full .html file with the table. Basically i want yellow 1 to go yellow then when thats yellow i want blue2 to go blue and yellow return to grey then i want green3 to go green and blue to return to grey and so on up to orange5 then i want to go back to yellow1 and keep it going on an infinite loop til the document is closed. this is my entire code and i still cannot get any of the cells to change colour..? I am also wanting it to wait 1.5 seconds between the colour changes as you can see ive looked into the setInterval function but still no luck.

also check getElementById, you have ID in uppercase should be "...Id" ,
sorry can't add comments yet as i dont have enough points, so had to write it as an answer

I can see your getElementByID syntax is wrong it should be like:
var yellow1 = document.getElementById("yellow1");
and set color to that element like:
yellow1.style.backgroundColor = "#FF0000";
Thanks

javascript can't access values of css you should assign its color using javascript before if statement
var yellow1 = document.getElementById("yellow1");
window.addEventListener('load', function(){
yellow1.style.backgroundColor = "#404040";
})
if(yellow1.style.backgroundColor == "rgb(64, 64, 64)")
{ yellow1.style.backgroundColor = "#FFFF00"; }
now it works .
