Dynamically Changing Styles

[Dennis M. Marks]

Please tell me where to look or answer the following. Can a div or span
style be changed from within the html outside of the div or span? Can
it be done without javascript? What I would like to do is alter the
color of menu items depending on the availability of javascript.

For Example:

<STYLE>
#xxx {color: black}
</STYLE>

You can still accomplish that task easily: just set the colors to what you
want them to be if JS is unavailable, and then use an onLoad event to run a
script that changes them.

I managed to do it as follows. By default I have the color of specific
lines red. Then a script changes them to black. If there is no
javascript the color remains red and I display a warning message.

Did I use the combination of class and id correctly? The ids are unique
but the class is not.
