< script type="text/javascript" >
function styleText() {
var text = document.getElementById(“text”);
text.style.fontFamily = “sans-serif”;
text.fontSize = “14px”;
text.fontWeight = “bold”;
text.textDecoration = “underline”;
}

document.addEventListener(“DOMContentLoaded”, styleText);

Finally, you must add an HTML element with the id attribute set to “text”:
