simple onmouseover not showing anything

[matthew9090]

i've got this javascript code

<script type="text/javascript">
function show(str) 
{
document.getElementById('div').innerHTML=str;
}
</script>

 

and html code:

<a href='http://link.com' onMouseOver="show('text')">text</a>
<div id="div">

</div>

 

i'm using the google chrome browser and it doesn't come up with anything.

 

when i go to the inspect element on chrome it comes up with: index.php:103Uncaught TypeError: string is not a function. What does it mean!

I copied the exact scripts you have and it works fine. You must have forgotton to include the js file?

all by itself, that works fine for me (even in Chrome).  What else do you have on your page?  I don't think that error has to do with this code. For one thing, I do not see "string" anywhere in that code, and the error is telling you that you are trying to make a call to a function called "string" and it doesn't exist.
