Why would you want to use JavaScript for that? CSS will do it quite
easily.

It's a dumb trick, BTW.

It's also coded badly, and won't work in all browsers even without changes.

CSS have rules, just as HMTL and Javascript. While browsers might
understand whant you mean if you don't follow them, some probably
won't. I recommend finding a tutorial on the net and learn to
understand CSS.
<style type="text/css">
Btw, style tags can only be placed in the head element.
<!--
You don't need HTML comments in style sheets, just as you don't need
it Javascript. While implemented later in browsers than script
support, both the script and style tags were introduced in HTML 3.2
which became a recommendation in January 1997. All serious browsers
created after that time will understand the style tag and know not
to render the contents. These browsers include Netscape 4 and IE 3.

If you insist on adding the illegal, but browser accepted, HTML
comments to hide the script from old browsers, you should also end the
HTML comment again with a -->.
A
{
color: #000000;
font-family: Comic Sans;
Values for font-family that contain spaces must be quoted.
font-family: "Comic Sans";

For browsers without access to the font "Comic Sans" (by which you
probably mean the one called "Comic Sans MS"), you can add an
alternative font. I would use the generic name "sans-serif" for
the browser's default sans serif font.
font-family: "Comic Sans", sans-serif;
}
</style>

Habit.

Mistake.
font-family: Comic Sans;

And another.

/L 'and I so hate Comic Sans MS, but that is a different kind of problem!'

Agreed. I know a business that uses it for body text in formal letters.

I'm always amused by this trick. The orange hurts my eyes, but the
trick itself is gold.
