How to add a class to this?

[RayWilk]

I have this line in a script:

{ldelim}document.getElementById('show').innerHTML = '<b>This is maximum characters.</b>'; {rdelim}

and I have this line:

<span id='show' style="font-size:12px "></span>

I would like the text " This is maximum characters." to be red

How can I achieve this? add a class?

all help appreciated

use span with style instead of <b>:

<span style="color:red;font-weight:bold">This is maximum characters.</span>

or move all styles into class
html:

<span class="maximum">This is maximum characters.</span>

css:

.maximum { color:red; font-weight:bold; }
