Parameters

sTag	Required. String that specifies an HTML tag. It can be any one of the objects exposed by the DHTML Object Model.

This example uses the tags method to retrieve a collection of all P elements in the document, and then uses the textDecoration property to underline each element.

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JScript">
var coll = document.all.tags("P");
if (coll!=null)
{
    for (i=0; i<coll.length; i++) 
      coll[i].style.textDecoration="underline";
}
