How Do You Make Text In A <div> Change When You Click On A Link? something to do with jvascript

Say I have a link and some text. How would I make it so that when I clicked on the link, that text changed?

Thats pretty easy.Use the getElementById() function of Java Script.Then Change the text by using innerHTML function.If you want to call it by anchor call a function which does the above thing.

Thanks electron but after some researching it appears that innerHTML is an IE thing. Is there any function which cross-browser compatible? Thanks....

innerHTML works for me, and i'm using Opera.

<input type="button" value="Click" onclick="document.getElementById('a').innerHTML='newtext'"/><span id="a">text</span>

It works for firefox as well. Oh well, guess you can't believe half of what you read on the internet. Maybe it had Microsoft origins or something. Thank you electron and truefusion....

Is there a way to do this within a DIV rather than a form item? I need to use HTML and have the updated text realise this:function Web1(){ var MyElement = document.getElementById("MyTextBox"); MyElement.value = "<h2>header</h2><p>text2</p>"; return true;}thanks
