Change text inside <h2> Text I would change </h2> element using javascript

Question

I need to change the text inside

HTML element using javascript, but I have no idea about how to do it. ¿Any help?

I've got it defined like:

<h2 id="something">Text I want to change.</h2>

Im trying to do it with:

document.getElementById("something").value = "new text";

But it doesn't work.

Thanks

Answer 1

You can use innerHTML:

document.getElementById("something").innerHTML = "new text";

Answer 2

If the element only contains text, textContent works better and faster than innerHTML

document.getElementById("something").textContent = 'new text';

Good luck :)
