[SOLVED] changing test with in a <span>

[nezbo]

Hi all

 

I and sure that this will be an easy one for you all but what i am trying to do is change some test within a <span>.

 

here is my code so far :

<span id="the_label"> << </span>

<script type="javascript">

document.the_label.innerHTML = " >> ";

</script>

 

i will am going to put this in an if statement in there after i have managed to get it working

Try out this:

document.getElementById("the_label").innerHTML = " >> ";

 

Errmm about the arrow you used in the HTML, try not to use it in the code. Because it will confuse the browser it as a tag opening. Use > and &lt.

i have managed to get it working, but i will use your advice with the &lt&lt and &gt&gt

 

Cheers
