dhtml + javascript text question

can you change the text content of a div? i wrote a script that calculates the power supply a computer will need, and i want to display the outcome as text on the page.

the total watt count for the computer is stored in a variable, so is there some way to use writeLn() to a div?

for the sake of apperance i dont want to use an alert box or textarea, but i dont want to have to write a div for every possible outcome!

Use javascript's document.write to where you wish to dynamically show the text. Should work

i thought of that, but i couldn't get the document.writeln() to work within the div tag. does anyone know how do do that?

I don't know how supported innerHTML is in other browsers...I think IE, Opera, Netscape and Mozilla should support it. Don't know if you're familiar with it, but;

function writeCrapIntoDiv(content){
divname.innerHTML=content;
}

writeCrapIntoDiv("this would appear in the DIV with the name 'divname' in this case");

I'm very rusty when it comes to JS, but that should work?

thanks paavo, asked this question at experts exchange too, got worthless s**t for answers over there, and you come up with a nice simple 3 lines of code that works. fantastic.
