Javascript In Html

i am using javascript to change the text of div tag on run time. how can this be done.. my div tag is as:

&l

Solution 1:

It should be innerHTML. innerHTM is not a javascript function.

Solution 2:

1. You don't get a magic variable just by having an element with an id. var something = document.getElementById('some-id')
2. The property is called innerHTML not innerHTM
3. innerHTML is a string variable not an function. Assign a value to it with =, don't try to call it with ()

Solution 3:

function edit1() {
    alert('you are in edit1');
    document.getElementById('topdiv').innerHTML = 'hello';
}

and with proper error handling:

function edit1() {
    alert('you are in edit1');
    var topDiv = document.getElementById('topdiv');
    if (topDiv != null) {
        topDiv.innerHTML = 'hello';
    } else {
        alert('topdiv is nowhere to be found in this DOM');
    }
}

Solution 4:

Try document.getElementById('topdiv').innerHTML = "Hello"

Solution 5:

To get the div you should use document.getElementById('topdiv'). There is indeed a WebKit feature, that elements with an ID are automatically expanded as global variables, but it's highly questionable, that this becomes mainstream.

Then, innerHTM should read innerHTML, and you assign directly:

foo.innerHTML = "hi there"
