dotkpay Posted December 22, 2011 Author Share Posted December 22, 2011 Not sure I got what you mean, But here is an example: <html> <head> <style type="text/css"> #area1 { position:absolute; top:100px; left:100px; } </style> </head> <body> <div> <script type="text/javascript"> function greet() { document.write("Hello, Good morning"); } </script> <button onclick="greet()">Click to greet</button> <div id="area1"></div> </div> </body> </html> Could you please show me how to make the greeting appear inside the div(area1) when I click the button.

scootstah Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Like this? http://jsfiddle.net/VAwDt/ You probably want innerHTML instead of document.write(), since document.write() replaces the entire DOM.

ZulfadlyAshBurn Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 hope this helps <body> <div> <script type="text/javascript"> function greet() { var asd = document.getElementById['area1']; area1.innerHTML = "Hello, Good morning"; } </script> <button onclick="greet()">Click to greet</button> <div id="area1"></div> </div> </body> </html> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/253658-function-in/#findComment-1300404 Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 You shouldn't mix your code into your markup. There are frameworks around these days that support unobtrusive JavaScript allowing you to attach events to elements by selecting those elements using CSS selectors. jQuery is probably the most popular of these frameworks, check it out.
