I am pretty new to css + html and am coding my first website. I have a navigation menu setup inside a div, but I want to change the font-weight of the clicked text from lighter to bold when the user clicks on an item in it (text). Please can you tell me how to do this?

Here is my code so far:

HTML

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html>
<head>
    <title>...</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/style.css" />
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Yanone+Kaffeesatz" />
</head>
<body>
    <div id="background" />
        <div id="navigation" class="navigationPlaceholder">
            <div id="navigationText">
                <ul>
                    iOS
                    Blog
                    About
                    Contact
                </ul>
            </div>
        </div>
   </body>
</html>

    You need to add a click event listener each navigation item and change its font-weight style.

    First, start by using an unordered list for your nav

    <div id="navigationText">
    <ul>
        <li>iOS</li>
        <li>Blog</li>
        <li>About</li>
        <li>Contact</li>
    </ul>
</div>

    Then, place this script block just before the closing </body> tag

    <script type="text/javascript">
var nav = document.getElementById('navigationText');

var navItems = nav.getElementsByTagName('li');

for (var i = 0; i < navItems.length; i++) {
    navItems[i].addEventListener('click', function() {
        this.style.fontWeight = 'bold';
    }, false);
}
</script>
</body>
