The background color properties are different between the browsers. Internet Explorer uses backgroundColor while Netscape Navigator uses bgColor:

function docjslib_setElementBgColor(id, elementColor) {
  if (NS4) eval(id).bgColor = elementColor
  else eval(id).style.backgroundColor = elementColor;
}
