Silly Error

@Bruno321Apr 04.2009

Hi guys, I’m trying to dynamically change some text but for some reason I just can’t….

Here’s what I’m doing:

<head>
<script language=”JavaScript”>
var x = document.getElementById(“resposta”);
x.innerHTML = ‘aaa’;
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id=”resposta”></div>
</body>

And nothing happens. Any help will be appreciated.

@svidgenApr 04.2009 — #The DIV isn't defined yet at the time the script runs. Try one of the following 2 variations:

[code=html]
 <head>
 <script language="JavaScript">
 function xyz() {
 var x = document.getElementById("resposta");
 x.innerHTML = 'aaa';
 }
 </script>
 </head>
 
 <body onLoad="xyz();">
 <div id="resposta"></div>
 </body>[/code]

[code=html]
 <head>
 </head>
 
 <body>
 <div id="resposta"></div>
 
 <script language="JavaScript">
 var x = document.getElementById("resposta");
 x.innerHTML = 'aaa';
 </script>
 
 </body>[/code]

Also, please post code using the appropriate code tags : )

@KorApr 04.2009 — #The modern tendency and recommendations are to separate the content (HTML), presentation (CSS) and the dynamic behavior (javascript). Furthermore, the document needs a Doctype, otherwise the browser might act in an unpredictable quirks mode while interpreting the CSS and/or javascript codes. And [B]language[/B] is deprecated in favor of [B]type[/B]
