title: html5 javascript fillstyle doesnt work
body: <p>I'm dabbling with html5 and javascript (I know nothing of both). I found an example of some html5, copied it,  and started experimenting. Heres some code. The idea is that when any key is pressed, two squares start moving left (doesn't clean up behind it yet). What I don't understand is why I cant change colour (Ive indicated below). Any ideas? Im obviously doing something very wrong.</p>
