Am I missing something here?
CODE <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <script type="text/javascript" src="javacode2.js"> </script> <head> <title> yeah </title> </head> <body> <span id="test"></span> test </body> </html> javacode2.js CODE var span = document.getElementById('test'); span.innerHTML = 'why wont this crap work?'; Opera's handy developer's tool tells me this: Uncaught exception: TypeError: Cannot convert 'span' to object Error thrown at line 3, column 0 in file://localhost/G:/Documents/javacode2.js: span.innerHTML = 'why wont this crap work?'; it cant seem to find the span element. Does it matter that this is not uploaded to a site and is instead opened from my pc? |
