Changing bean message without reloading page

hi!

I am trying to change bean message without reloading page upon button click event. Is there any way of doing it?
++++++++++
<table align="center" width="25%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
      <tr>
       <th span class="entrycolor"><bean:message key="firstentry" /></span></th>
      </tr>
</table>
++++++++++++
Or, is there any way of changing font and color of html:text value just like bean message?
thanks,

here's a fully functional example, cut-n-paste locally and play with it :

----------------------------

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>

<title>test</title>

<style type="text/css">
*.entrycolor {
background-color: white;
color: black;
}

*.highlightedcolor {
background-color: yellow ;
color: black;
}

</style>

<script type="text/javascript">
function handleSpanClick(anElement)
{
if (anElement.className == "entrycolor")
{
anElement.className = "highlightedcolor";
}
else
{
anElement.className = "entrycolor";
}
}
</script>

</head>

<body>

<div class="outer">
<div class="floatRight">
<table>
<tr>
<td><span class="entrycolor" onclick="javascript:handleSpanClick(this);">entry 1</span></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><span class="entrycolor" onclick="javascript:handleSpanClick(this);">entry 2</span></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><span class="entrycolor" onclick="javascript:handleSpanClick(this);">entry 3</span></td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
</div>
</body>

</html>

(ignore the div stuff there, that's left over from a previous testbed...)
