I have a JavaScript variable and I want the HTML div to output 7.
I know it's simple, but I can't seem to get my head around this.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
var ball = 3+4;
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div>Have 7 output here</div>
</body>
</html>
Give a specific id to the div like:
<div id="data"></div>
Now use the following JavaScript code.
<script type="text/javascript">
var ball = 3+4;
document.getElementById("data").innerHTML=ball;
</script>
Working code is here
Write your script in body.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<div>Have 7 output here</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
var ball = 3+4;
document.getElementsByTagName('div')[0].innerHTML = ball;
</script>
</body>
</html>
body?Try this:
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
var ball = 3+4;
function op()
{
document.getElementById('division').innerHTML=ball;
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="op();">
<div id="division">Have 7 output here</div>
</body>
<html>
<body>
<div id="add_results_7"></div>
</body>
</html>
<script>
var ball = 3+4;
document.getElementById('add_results_7').innerHTML=ball; // Gives you 7 as your answer
</script>
Try this:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
onload = function () {
var ball = 3 + 4;
var div = document.getElementsByTagName("div")[0];
div.innerHTML = ball;
};
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div>Have 7 output here</div>
</body>
</html>
onload is executed when the page is fully loaded, so the DIV is ready to be manipulated. getElementsByTagName("div") returns a list of all DIVs in the page, and we get the first one ([0]) since there is only one DIV in your code.
Finally, I guess innerHTML doesn't require any explanation :-)
