newby trying to write text to a <div>

charliefortune

I have succesfully made rollover images appear in a table cell, but I
cannot seem to make the caption appear in a seperate cell underneath.
This is how I attempted it ..

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript">

function design(file, displayName){
viewer.src = 'assets/shirts/medium/'+ file +'.gif';
document.underText.write(displayName);
}
</script>
........
....
..
<td><div name = "underText" id = "underText"></div></td>
.......
......
The variables are being passed correctly as viewer.src works correctly.
The script appears before the <html> tag, but it doesn't seem to work
wherever I put it.

Do not use language="JavaScript", unnecessary since abt. 2000
function design(file, displayName){
viewer.src = 'assets/shirts/medium/'+ file +'.gif';
document.underText.write(displayName);
You cannot use document.underText unless it is IE-only.
You cannot use .write like that anyway.
You cannot even use document.write after the page is ready,
and the DOM made, because an default documnet.open will be assumed and
that will destroy the previous HTML, DOM and the script itself!!!

So use the DOM to write to a div:

document.getElementById('underText').innerHTML = displayName;
}
</script>
.......
...
.
<td><div name = "underText" id = "underText"></div></td>
......
.....
