Hey all,
I find it completely bizarre how I have never came across this problem yet. What I am trying to do is change text dynamically with Javascript. I want to make a Javascript function that changes some (without being in a form element). the text right now is IN a div, so maybe I can work it like that?
Thanks for your help...
 
Here's the solution

<div id="mydiv">
text that will change
</div>

<script language="javascript">
function changetext(newtext){
document.getElementById('mydiv').innerHTML = newtext
}
</script>


You have the div with it's own id and the function that changes the text. now you only have to use that function applied in a button, a link, etc. passing the new text as a parameter.
hope it helps.
 
perfect thanks alot, Im sure this is cool across most nbrowsers, right? Ive never seen 'innerHTML' before.
