I have a textfield which is supposed to change an element on the page

  • 0

I have a textfield which is supposed to change an element on the page with the text inside it when a submit button is pressed. I am passing the value to a javascript function. It doesn’t work, can anyone tell me how to do it/what i’m doing wrong?

Here is my code:

<html>
<head>
<script type = "text/javascript">
function submitText(string, id)
{
document.getElementById(id).innerHTML = string;
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<p id = "Datepara" style = "font-family:comic sans ms;color:orange;text-align:center;font-size:25px;">
Date Created: 24/9/12 <br /><br /><br/>
</p>
<input id = "changetext" type = "text" value = "Enter text to display text in this webpage!"/>
&nbsp;
<input id = "submit" type = "button" onclick = "submitText('Datepara','document.getElementById("changetext").value;'" value = "Submit" />
</body>
</html>
