JavaScript HTML DOM - Changing CSS

❮ Prev Next ❯

The HTML DOM allows JavaScript to change the style of HTML elements.

Changing HTML Style

To change the style of an HTML element, use this syntax:

document.getElementById(id).style.property = new style

The following example changes the style of a <p> element:

Example

<html>
<body>

<p id="p2">Hello World!</p>

<script>
document.getElementById("p2").style.color = "blue";
</script>

</body>
</html>

Using Events

The HTML DOM allows you to execute code when an event occurs.

Events are generated by the browser when "things happen" to HTML elements:

  • An element is clicked on
  • The page has loaded
  • Input fields are changed

You will learn more about events in the next chapter of this tutorial.

This example changes the style of the HTML element with id="id1", when the user clicks a button:

Example

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<h1 id="id1">My Heading 1</h1>

<button type="button"
onclick="document.getElementById('id1').style.color = 'red'">
Click Me!</button>

</body>
</html>
