How do I make javascript override CSS?

[Sureshot324]

Say I have a background color specified for my web page in a CSS file. If I try to change that background color with a java script, nothing happens. If I remove the stylesheet, the javascript works fine. Is there a way to force the javascript to change the color to something other than what's specified in the stylesheet?

do it by changing the body class:

or you can do:
body.style.backgroundColor = "red";
