JavaScript Display Possibilities
JavaScript can "display" data in different ways:
- Writing into an HTML element, using
innerHTML
. - Writing into the HTML output using
document.write()
. - Writing into an alert box, using
window.alert()
. - Writing into the browser console, using
console.log()
. Using innerHTML
To access an HTML element, JavaScript can use the
document.getElementById(id)
method.The
id
attribute defines the HTML element. TheinnerHTML
property defines the HTML content:<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<h2>My First Web Page</h2>
<p>My First Paragraph.</p>
<p id="demo"></p>
<script>
document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = 5 + 6;
</script>
</body>
</html>
Using document.write()
For testing purposes, it is convenient to use
document.write()
:<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<h2>My First Web Page</h2>
<p>My first paragraph.</p>
<p>Never call document.write after the document has finished loading.
It will overwrite the whole document.</p>
<script>
document.write(5 + 6);
</script>
</body>
</html>
Using window.alert()
You can use an alert box to display data:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<h2>My First Web Page</h2>
<p>My first paragraph.</p>
<script>
window.alert(5 + 6);
</script>
</body>
</html>
