  • Welome to Stack Overflow. Your question is getting downvoted because it doesn't quite meet the criteria at http://stackoverflow.com/help/on-topic . One thing missing from your question is any explanation of what you have tried to achieve the result. A simple google of 'HTML italic' will get you started. – GreenAsJade Jan 26 '14 at 04:56

Create a new CSS rule:

.test{
    font-style: italic;
}

Then add <span class=\'test\'> </span> around each instance of the name, like this...

 <body>
   <h2>Greetings</h2>
   <p>
     Enter your name: <input type="text" id="nameBox" size="12" value="">
   </p>
   <input type="button" value="Click for Greeting" onclick="document.getElementById('outputDiv').innerHTML=
                     'Hello <span class=\'test\'>' + document.getElementById('nameBox').value + 
                     '</span>, welcome to my page.<br>Do you mind if I call you <span class=\'test\'>' +
                     document.getElementById('nameBox').value + '</span>?';"> 
   <hr>
   <div id="outputDiv"></div>

</body>

  • The class doesn't need to be named `test` - you can call it anything you'd like (following CSS naming guidelines) so long as you make sure to change the class name in the `span` tags. – Birrel Jan 26 '14 at 04:51
