Question

How do I make an image overwrite text within another div upon hover of first div? ? Any help greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

window.onload = function () { // ensure that we don't try to get div1 before it's loaded
    document.getElementById("div1").onmouseover = function () {
        document.getElementById("div2").innerHTML = "<p>new HTML</p>";
    };
};

Depending on your case, you may wish to use the innerText property to ensure that you don’t accidentally make HTML, or you can use the DOM to make new elements.
