OK, I’m new at JavaScript, but I’m trying to change the innerHTML of a div element.
Here is my script that is not working:

<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function var1() {
document.getElementById('test').innerHTML = 'hi';
}
window.onLoad = var1();
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="test">change</div>
</body>

It should work, but for some reason it does not, any help?

    Rather than assigning var1 to window.onload, you’re currently calling the function and storing its result. Also, this might be obvious, but var1 seems like an odd name for a function. Try this:

    function var1() {
  document.getElementById('text').innerHTML = 'hi';
}

window.onload = var1;

    Note the casing of onload, as well as the missing parentheses after var1.
