Changing Text on the Fly Using Javascript

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Sep 07.2009

On my page I have some text that is formatted with css like:

[CODE]
<td class =’titletext’>Memo: Picture of Dog</td>
[/CODE]

I have onclick events that when a user clicks smaller images, it changes a larger image. This is working, but I want to an onclick event to change the “Picture of Dog” text above to say… “Picture of Cat”. I have read that I can do this with innerHTML but none of the examples I tried worked for what I am doing. Can anyone get show me the proper syntax to do what I want to do?

Thank you.
