ngreenwood6 Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 I might be overlooking something but by simply looking at your code it looks like you created the function but never called it. Try this: <?php echo "<script type=\"text/javascript\"> function changeText(){ document.getElementById('txtHint').innerHTML = 'jimmy jones'; } changeText(); </script> "; ?> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
