Hi I'm tryin to get the following code to work but I'm having a few problems, I need to dynamically change the content of the div:

<script lanuage="javascript">
document.getElementById("w00t").innerhtml = "lkkjkhkjhkj";
</script>
<div id="w00t"></div>

Hope you can help.

Thanks for your repl but I'm still having problems:

<html>
<head>
<script language = "javascript">
document.getElementById("w00t").innerHTML = "testing";
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="w00t"></div>
</body>
</html>

The trouble is that the div has not yet been added to the page when your are trying to access it in your script.

A couple of possibilities are to move the script to later in the page (after the div tag) or put it in a function & execute it when the body onload event fires.

Cheers,

Chris
