I just started learning JavaScript and am wondering why this simple snippet hangs when I click on the "Call function" button. What am I missing?
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function myfunction()
{
document.write("hello");
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form>
<input type="button"
onclick="myfunction()"
value="Call function">
</form>
</body>
</html>
You need to write inside an element or give an element a value, or you should use document write like that :
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function myfunction()
{
document.getElementById("lblMessage").innerText = "hello";
document.getElementById("txtMessage").value = "hello";
//document.write("hello");
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form>
<script type="text/javascript">
document.write("This is written while page processed by browser !<br />");
</script>
<input type="text" id="txtMessage" /><br />
<span id="lblMessage"></span><br />
<input type="button"
onclick="myfunction()"
value="Call function">
</form>
</body>
</html>
