Program giving a error on line 19, missing a semicolon. I try everything that I could think off.

What I have tried:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang = "en-US">
<head>
 <meta charset = "UTF-8">
 <title>backgroundColor</title>
 </head>
<body>
    <h1>Click a button to change the Color</h1>
    <form action = "">
     <fieldset>
     <input type = "button"
            value = "blue"
            onclick = "document.body.style.backgroundColor = 'blue'" />
     <input type = "button"
            value = "white"
            onclick = "document.body.style.backgroundColor = 'white'" />
     <input type = "button"
            value = "Orange"
            onclick = "document.body.style.backgroundColor = 'orange'" />
 </fieldset>   
  </form>
  </body>
</html>

After copy-pasting that into an html file, it works just fine for me on Firefox 90.0.2.

If I copy and paste your sample into a new HTML file and openthat in Chrome, or Edge, or even IE it works fine.

I'd suggest that you look at the page giving the error in your prefered browser's developer tools (Right click and "view page source", right click and "inspect", or similar) and also check that any code behind is not generating the error.

Sorry, we can't do any of that for you, and if we can't reproduce the problem we can#t help solve it!
