I'm just started with JavaScript and I have a little problem.
How do I use the innerHTML
propriety to change the text in this element:
(function showArray(){
var names = new Array("Bob ","Alice ","Ceaser ","David");
names.sort();
for (var i = 0; i < names.length; i++) {
document.getElementById("loop").innerHTML = names[i];
// I'm only getting "David" as output!!
}
})();
<p id="loop">David Alice Bob Ceaser</p>
Try this, you just need to join the names too.
function showArray() {
var names = new Array("Bob ", "Alice ", "Ceaser ", "David");
names.sort();
document.getElementById("loop").innerHTML = names.join(" ");
}
showArray();
<p id="loop">David Alice Bob Ceaser</p>
Just for the record: your code can be reduced to
(function() {
document.querySelector("#loop").innerHTML =
["Bob ", "Alice ", "Ceaser ", "David"].sort().join(" ");
}())
<p id="loop"></p>
