Hi, i need to do a very simple thing.
But sadly it seems to be hard to do...

Any help would be greatly appreciated for I have spent hours on end on this and found no resolution.

I need to change plain text on an HTML exposed page, on the client side, meaning it needs to be done with HTML / Javascript.

Simplest example:
Imagine a page that says: "Text is this."
and has a button that when you press it, you see it say: "Text is that"
The trick is the following:
must not reload the page and must change the text itself, not cover it up with a layer or something like this.

What I am looking for is something like being able to change the 'value' parameter of a 'p' tag or something like that.

Thanks a lot in advance,
=)

To refer to any tag on a page, give it an id:

<div id='myDiv'></div>

then grab it using DHTML

<script>

myTag = document.getElementById('myDiv')

</script>

use the innerHTML/innerText property to manipulate its content.

myTag.innerHTML = "<b>Hello</b>" // Writes a bold Hello in the tag

myTag.innerText = "<b>Hello</b>" // Writes <b>Hello</b> in the tag and treats it as text.

innerHTML/Text is read/write and can be treated like any string in JS.

Thank you a lot!

now playing with the options of having the HTML reevaluated =)
