why doesn't this work?

<head>
<script language="JavaScript">
function background( ){

setTimeout(document.bgcolor = "red",5000);
}
</script>

</head>

<body>

<form>
<input type="button" VALUE="Start" OnClick="background( )">
</form>

You have to put the code you want to run after the timer expires in a string and the background color property is bgColor not bgcolor, case sensitive.

Don't forget that you forgot to type a capital C for bgColor, a lower case c won't work.
