removing "bold" style from all hyperlinks with DHTML

Hi,

With the following piece of code I can change the font-weight CSS property
of the hyperlink to a bold typeface:

<a href="index.html" onClick="style.fontWeight='bold'>"

I use this piece of HTML to make a hyperlink bold when clicking on it.
Problem is, when I click another link on the same page, the previous link
stays bold. And that's not what it is supposed to do - it should get a
normal font-weight again.

How can I do this, using only Javascript? I tried following JavaScript, but
it didn't worked:

onClick='document.getElementByTag("a").fontWeight= "normal"

How come? And does anyone know the answer?

Thanks in advance,

Alain

Try:
<a href="index.html" onMouseDown="style.fontWeight='bold'"
onMouseUp="style.fontWeight='normal'">testing</a>
