html text change,html - Change label text using JavaScript - Stack Overflow

Because your script runs BEFORE the label exists on the page (in the DOM). Either put the script after the label, or wait until the document has fully loaded (use an OnLoad function, such as the jQuery ready() or http://www.webreference.com/programming/javascript/onloads/)

This won't work:

document.getElementById('lbltipAddedComment').innerHTML = 'your tip has been submitted!';

test

This will work:

test

document.getElementById('lbltipAddedComment').innerHTML = 'your tip has been submitted!';

This example (jsfiddle link) maintains the order (script first, then label) and uses an onLoad:

test

function addLoadEvent(func) {

var oldonload = window.onload;

if (typeof window.onload != 'function') {

window.onload = func;

} else {

window.onload = function() {

if (oldonload) {

oldonload();

}

func();

}

}

}

addLoadEvent(function() {

document.getElementById('lbltipAddedComment').innerHTML = 'your tip has been submitted!';

});
