I have many links on a page, but for example sake, these two:

<a href="bla1.html" id="link1">bla1</a>
<a href="bla1.html" id="link2">bla1</a>

I use a Javascript function to change the link colors:

document.getElementById("link1").style.color='lime'
document.getElementById("link2").style.color='lime'

Above works fine to change the 2 link colors to lime, but is there way to
dynamically change all links on a page, without a separate id for each
link, and without reloading the page with a new link style declaration?

var links = document.getElementsByTagName("a");

By the above I've got the variable "links" as an HTML object collection.
I suppose this is now a Javascript question; but how could I dynamically
change all link colors on the page from here?
Any further pointers would be much appreciated... Thanks.

Use a for loop on the collection.

Does anyone have an example?

... found a solution:

links = document.getElementsByTagName("a");
for (var i=0;i<links.length;i++)
if (links[i].className=="link")
links[i].style.color = 'lime';
}

Why not?

For starters, not all users have Javascript enabled. You can change link
colors in CSS, which is more widely trusted.

Please take it to comp.lang.javascript. But before posting a question,
check the archives. This has come up before. You might also consider
Google.
