What Can JavaScript Do?
       1 - Change HTML Content

One of many HTML methods is getElementById(). This example uses the method to "find" an HTML element (with id="demo"), and changes the element content (innerHTML) to "Hello JavaScript":

HTML file: Displayed by browser:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<h3 id="demo">JavaScript can change HTML content.</h3>

<button type="button"
onclick="document.getElementById('demo').innerHTML = "Hello JavaScript!"">
Click me!</button>

</body>
</html>

JavaScript can change HTML content.
