Dynamic HTML and highlighting

[John Fitzgibbon]

Hi,

 

I have created a HTML document with people's names marked up as follows
<span class="person">John Doe</span>.

 

I wish to allow users to highlight all names on the web page by ticking
a checkbox labeled 'Highlight'.

 

I can use JavaScript to dynamically change the background color of an
element using 'onclick="this.style.backgroundColor="' If I am seeking to
reference all span elements in the document with an attribute of class
whose value is person how do I proceed? Is it possible?

 

All ideas are welcome.

 

Regards

John
