I have a number of links, that when clicked on, passes a variable thru to another portion of the page.

Yet, for some reason, I can’t figure it out! What am I missing?

<head>
<script type="text/javascript">

function myFunction(a){
  myid="Hi There!"+a;
  return myid;
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<a href="#" OnClick="myFunction(123456);">Click Me</a><br />


<script type="text/javascript">
document.write(myid);
</script>

</body>

    You are getting a little mixed up here. Even though the function returns a value, it has nothing to return it to. Try this:

        <head>
    <script type="text/javascript">

    function myFunction(a){
      myid="Hi There!"+a;
      document.getElementById("debug").innerHTML = myid;
    }
    </script>
    </head>
    <body>
    <a href="#" OnClick="myFunction(123456);">Click Me</a><br />


<div id="debug"></div>

</body>
