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

Below is the syntax to modify the style of an html element using JavaScript style properties.

Syntax:

Object.style.property=new style;

 

Take a look at the code below:

We used JavaScript to Change the style of the <p> element.

  • Change the color to white.
  • Font size to 40px.
  • Background color to tomato:
<p id="pcon">Hello World!</p>
<script>
        var mychar = document.getElementById("pcon");
        mychar.style.color = "white";
        mychar.style.fontSize = "40px";
        mychar.style.backgroundColor = "tomato";
    </script>

result:
