Thread: what's wrong with this function?

I've defined this function in a .js file. It's supposed to take a color, make it the background color in a table cell, and adjust the color of the text depending on whether the color is dark or light. What is wrong with the code?

function brighttest(season)
{

String fontColor = season;

// remove hash character from string
String rawFontColor = fontColor.substring(1,fontColor.length());

// convert hex string to int
int rgb = Integer.parseInt(rawFontColor, 16);

Color c = new Color(rgb);

float[] hsb = Color.RGBtoHSB(c.getRed(), c.getGreen(), c.getBlue(), null);

float brightness = hsb[2];

if (brightness < 0.5) {
document.write('<td width="25%" bgcolor="'+season+'">');
document.write ('<font color="#FFF8C6">'+season+'</font>'); //prints the value
} else {
document.write('<td width="25%" bgcolor="'+season+'">');
document.write ('<font color="#000000">'+season+'</font>'); //prints the value
}
}

What is the error?

It causes all other links to images and text to not show up... and I'm sure that it is not calling the function itself, rather the function that has some error.
