add colon (:)

[phorcon3]

<span id="changeThis">Text</span>

 

and i wanna change Text to Text: ...so i want my function to add a colon... how could i do this?

 

document.getElementById('changeThis').innerHTML = ':'; ...wouldn't work of course... what function do i need to use? any ideas?

 

ps, please dont write somethin like:

 

document.getElementById('changeThis').innerHTML = 'Text:';

 

i coulda figured that one out myself lol.. b/c the idea is that i don't always know what Text actually is ...so, i just wanna add the colon;)

[phorcon3]

var test = document.getElementById('changeThis').innerHTML;
document.getElementById('changeThis').innerHTML = test + ':';

 

that would add it ..dont know if theres a better way to do this ...

 

but now i have a diff question..

 

what if its Text: ..how would i remove the colon? ...i just gotta remove the char-length by -1 ...any ideas?
