Do you want to change the background color?

Or is it a background image you're trying to change?

<a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="document.body.style.backgroundColor='#000000';">Change BG to black</a>

^^ Change the "#000000" to whatever color you want the background to be.

If you would like to do it more professionaly, something like this would work:
<html>
<head><title></title>
<script>

</script>
</head>
<body>
<b>Like a form</b><br />
<form name="likeaform">
<input type="button" onclick="changeBG('black')" value="change to black" />
<input type="button" onclick="changeBG('blue')" value="change to blue" />
</form><br />
<b>Like a link</b><br />
<a href="#" onClick="changeBG('black');" />Change to Black</a>
<a href="#" onClick="changeBG('blue');" />Change to Blue</a>
</body>
</html>

This will work in Internet Explorer, Netscape Navigator, and I believe FireFox.

and I believe FireFox.
No. You should use document.getElementById. All modern browsers support it.
