Javascript innerHTML help

[Tom743]

I'm a noob at javascript and I'm trying to get the text "Hi" to appear when I click the link, but its not working. Does anyone know why?

<a href="javascript: document.getElementById(text).innerHMTL = 'Hi';">View</a>
<div id="text"></div>

try putting quotes on document.getElementById("text").innerHTML
That should make it work.

just change the order and try like this

<div id="text"></div>
<a href="javascript: document.getElementById("text").innerHMTL = 'Hi';">View</a>
