Question

I have an html text input that I am trying to change the content of via an if statement – other actions within the if statement are occurring which tells me the if statement is reaching this action however the content is not changing as directed – is there an error in my code?

HTML:

<input id="quest17" class="tb8" type="text" name="quest[17]" value="" size="40">

JavaScript:

document.getElementById('quest17').innerHTML = "new content";

is the problem because I also have a class? if so any way around it… I am honestly at a loss here.

Answer 1

Try .value instead of .innerHTML

document.getElementById('quest17').value = "new content";
