Question

I’m trying to change the style of all links in a page via Javascript.

I tried both these but no success:

document.links.style.cursor = "wait";
document.getElementsByTagName(a).style.cursor = "wait";

What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

var allLinks = document.links || document.getElementsByTagName('a');
for(var n=0;n<allLinks ;n++)
    document.allLinks [n].style.cursor = "wait";

The document.links is an array of elements, so document.links.style.cursor = "wait" equals to [link1,link2].links.style.cursor = "wait".
And about document.getElementsByTagName(a): the syntax is wrong, you forgot the quotes. The correct is document.getElementsByTagName("a")
