changing display of multiple div classes with javascript

[ImmuneEntity]

I'm fairly new to this whole web development stuff, but does anyone know how I can change the display of a div class with javascript?

For example...

 

<div class="monkey">

Some random text.

</div>

 

<div class="monkey">

Some more random text.

</div>

 

<div class="monkey">

Even more random text.

</div>

 

I want to be able to say something like:

monkey.style.display="none"

Is there any way to do this? I've looked all over online but I can't figure anything out. I do know how to access individual divs from their ID, but in this case I have a whole set of divs that I want to change all at once, not one at a time.

You might want to try jQuery, a javascript framework. Here you can find a series of 15 video tutorials for beginners. Probably the first video tutorial is enough to do what you want to do, and even has a nice fadeout animation. ^_^
