A 3rd party elearning app that the client is using publishes to HTML. 
The client wants me to add a button that will allow the user to 
increase/decrease the font size.

When I look at the publish source I note that every piece of text is 
wrapped in a SPAN which has a class attribute.

Within the HTML there's a STYLE element with a selector for every SPAN 
which typical look like

span.text45Font1 {
   font-size:13px;
   font-family:"Arial", sans-serif; color:#010101;
}

where the selector is, I think, always of the form
   "span.text" + number + "Font" + number

I'm not sure whether I should

- find all the "span.text" selectors
- find and modify the font-size selector

or

- find all the SPAN elements
- get and modify the font size directly

Is one way "better" than the other or is there another way to do this?
