hi
sorry new to jscript (woops! javascript) and feeling stupid, checked
the faq and google to no avail. i've got a <td> with some text in it
that i wanted to chage, so i put this in it:
<span id="value">some text</span>
But this didn't work:
document.getElementByID('value').innerText=value;
any ideas? also, where can i find a reference so if i have, say, a
<span>, i can find all the properties and methods i can apply to it?
i've checked DOM references, but couldn't find what i needed.
cheers

Because you are trying to set its value to a variable named value. Also,
innerText is IE only. See below.

i've checked DOM references, but couldn't find what i needed. http://jibbering.com/faq/#FAQ4_15 and its DynWrite is what you are
hunting. It applies for SPAN tags as well as a DIV tag.
You could also give the TD tag an ID and DynWrite to it as well,
nullifying the need for a span inside the TD.

You can also use DOM methods to create a new text node and replace the
text node inside the TD. There are lots of examples in this news group
of how to do it.

<td align="center" id="timeLength">some text</td>
and in js:
document.getElementByID('timeLength').firstChild.n odeValue="some other
text";

JavaScript is case sensitive: getElementById not getElementByID
<html>
<head>
<title>changetd.htm</title>

<body>
<table border="1">

LOL i was looking at your answers for a while before i finally spotted
the small "d". regarding my other question again, does anyone know
where i can find a good complete online references to DOM methods and
attributes, so i can find things like "innerText", getChildNode, etc
for myself?
cheers

Appart from the FAQ for this news group, you can try at Mozilla: http://www.mozilla.org/docs/web-developer/
They have links to many useful sites (including W3C specs). The Mozilla
DOM spec is very handy, but it's focuses on Mozilla (of course): http://www.mozilla.org/docs/dom/domref/
Wherever they say "DOM level 0", it is not part of the spec but it is
supported as legacy from older browsers.
Have fun - Fred.
