Applying style to a variable

[K Robert]

I want to apply several styles to a javascript variable:font, size, color, etc. How do I apply all the styles to one variable?

What does it mean to apply a style to a variable?

Sorry for the lack of info.

Basically, I have an app that is returning a value to be displayed on a html page. I want to apply formatting directly to that value.

well you would have to add it either building a string and using innerHTML or using dom methods with createElement and setAttribute()

I use innerHTML this way:

name.innerHTML = arTest[i];

; but I am not sure how to add the formatting to it.

In other words, the style gets applied to the element that you set the data within, not the variable.

You know how to do it with normal HTML? If you do, buyild up a string that looks like that.
