bgcolor and fgcolor are "write only"?

[ptw]

I wanted to set the bgcolor of one view to be the same as another (actually, I wanted it to follow changes, using bgcolor="${other.bgcolor}"), but the debugger tells me that bgcolor is undefined? Same seems to apply to fgcolor. How can I find the background and forground colors of a view?

I was thinking that bgcolor would cascade, but it does not. If I want to get the 'cascaded' value of bgcolor, I need to use:

this.searchImmediateParents('bgcolor').bgcolor

I'm having a similar problem. Although I do seem to be able to find the background color, I can't find the foreground color.

<view name="lord" width="10" height="10" bgcolor="green"/>
<view width="10" height="10" bgcolor="${lord.getAttribute('bgcolor')}"/>
<simplelayout axis="y" spacing="10"/>
