Bolding a link dynamically using JS

Hi,
this is probably an easy one but I’m stumped.

I’m using this code to update the contents of a text box without reloading the page:

[CODE]<a href=”#” id=”link1″ onclick=”document.getElementById(‘Textbox’).innerHTML=t_intro;”>project summary</a>[/CODE]

Although this changes the contents of ‘Textbox’ fine, I also need it to change the link itself – edit the words ‘project summary’, along with changing its colour and making it bold.

I’ve tried self-referencing it using document.getElementById(‘link1’) inside the onclick, but it doesn’t seem to work. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Derek
