Question

I wanted to ask how to change div content, but not using innerhtml.

Answer 1

You can use nodeValue to access the value of a node, however the value of a div. In your example you might have the following HTML…

<div id="myLovelyDiv">This is the text that you want to change</div>

and this script…

var myDiv = getElementById("myLovelyDiv");
myDiv.childNodes[0].nodeValue = "The text has been changed.";

but I fail to see why you wouldn’t use

myDiv.innerHTML = "The text has been changed properly.";
