Will overwrite any existing classes of the element it is applied to, so use my [add/remove CSS classes script](http://snipplr.com/view/36986/add-and-remove-css-classes-from-elements/) if you want to retain current classes. **UPDATED 2/25/2011:** `get` function added. Script would have failed without this, unless you changed all instances of `get` to `document.getElementById`. Add styling (e.g. change the font color) of the labels by using the "label" class.
