I am writing code for html file that will display the number of each sum of dice for 36000 thrown dices. I wrote code and everything seems fine, I printed the numbers of each sum and I got numbers, but when I try to put them inside the td element, I see nothing in the table. I searched on stackoverflow and on google and all said same thing, but it's not working. Here is my code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Title</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
/*
Position #0 : Sum of Dices = 2
Position #1 : Sum of Dices = 3
Position #2 : Sum of Dices = 4
Position #3 : Sum of Dices = 5
Position #4 : Sum of Dices = 6
Position #5 : Sum of Dices = 7
Position #6 : Sum of Dices = 8
Position #7 : Sum of Dices = 9
Position #8 : Sum of Dices = 10
Position #9 : Sum of Dices = 11
Position #10: Sum of Dices = 12
*/
var sums = [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0];
for (var i = 0; i < 36000; i++) {
var dice1 = Math.floor(Math.random() * 6) + 1;
var dice2 = Math.floor(Math.random() * 6) + 1;
var sum = dice1 + dice2;
switch(sum) {
case 2:
sums[0]++;
break;

sums[1]++;

Some said to use innerText, and textContent but none seem to work. Why is it not working?
I don't know if this helps but I'm using Google Chrome on Mac OS X

Use windows.onload function to be sure html is loaded:
window.onload=function(){
document.getElementById("sum2").innerHTML = sums[0];
document.getElementById("sum3").innerHTML = sums[1];
document.getElementById("sum4").innerHTML = sums[2];
document.getElementById("sum5").innerHTML = sums[3];
document.getElementById("sum6").innerHTML = sums[4];
document.getElementById("sum7").innerHTML = sums[5];
document.getElementById("sum8").innerHTML = sums[6];
document.getElementById("sum9").innerHTML = sums[7];
document.getElementById("sum10").innerHTML = sums[8];
document.getElementById("sum11").innerHTML = sums[9];
document.getElementById("sum12").innerHTML = sums[10];
};
Your JS runs before the DOM was ready. Put your script within window.onload and try again,
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
window.onload = function(){
/*
Position #0 : Sum of Dices = 2
Position #1 : Sum of Dices = 3
Position #2 : Sum of Dices = 4
Position #3 : Sum of Dices = 5
Position #4 : Sum of Dices = 6
Position #5 : Sum of Dices = 7
Position #6 : Sum of Dices = 8
Position #7 : Sum of Dices = 9
Position #8 : Sum of Dices = 10
Position #9 : Sum of Dices = 11
Position #10: Sum of Dices = 12
*/
var sums = [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0];
for (var i = 0; i < 36000; i++) {
var dice1 = Math.floor(Math.random() * 6) + 1;
var dice2 = Math.floor(Math.random() * 6) + 1;
var sum = dice1 + dice2;
switch(sum) {
case 2:

break;
case 3:

}
}
document.getElementById("sum2").innerHTML = sums[0];
