document.getElementsByClassName(‘content’).innerHTML=’hello
php‘;

}

and my page i.e the content division is as follows!

> </section>

Answer 1

Do you have more than one div you want to modify? If not, you should use id and not class. Class is for changing multiple elements at the same time. Try something like this:

div:

<div id="content"></div>

Button:

<input type = "button" value = "Update PHP" onclick = "phpLoad()"/>

Script:

function phpLoad() {
   document.getElementById("content").innerHTML = "whatever you want";
}
