Let me start by saying that font tag is not a really good example here, since it is depreciated and should not be used when coding with DOM compatibility in mind (it woudl still work, but.....)

You can access any text on your page by going through the nodes tree. If you need a quick access to a given element, the best way is to give it an id and use document.getElementById method.
