Can anyone tell me why, with the following code, when I click “Click Here”, the text doesn’t change to “test”?

<body>
<div id="thisdiv" onClick="document.getElementbyID('thisdiv').innerHTML='test'">Click Here</div>

    You have a lowercase b and an uppercase D.

     //-------v------should be uppercase
getElementById
 //----------^---should be lowercase

    Example: http://jsfiddle.net/qSEpF/

    But simpler would be to reference the current element with this:

    onClick="this.innerHTML='test'"
