Changing the font family of all objects in a doc

[aleksanteri]

I have been thinking about a way to change the font family for all elements in a document with JavaScript/DOM?I have tried it with a onerror script but it doesn't help me this time.

function newfont(){	document.all.style.fontFamily=document.getElementByName("NewFont").value}

Plz help

<script>function newfont(){document.body.style.fontFamily=document.getElementsByName("NewFont")[0].value}</script>

Remember fetching elements by name returns an array, so there should be an S in the middle, and you should define the element of the array (which of the elements that has that name attribute) additionally. Last, document.all is rarely supported nowdays, you should forget those (its about layers), instead, you could use the body as the element onwhich the style is applied. (or easily add a statement by using CSS, instead of JavaScript, CSS was meant to do like this and JavaScript don't) Edited May 19, 2006 by Dan The Prof

I tried switching the "all" to "body" but it didn't work (not if I had thought the problem was at the left side, not at the right side) thanx
