Is there a way to write text to a page with a javascript, then after the page has loaded, by clicking onto a button, clear the origonal text and place a new line of text in its spot without it jumping to a new page to write the text? Like how the image-flips switch with an onMouseOver and onMouseOut. Can you get text to do the same sort of effect? Maybe I'm just writing it wrong. Any suggestions would help.
Thanks

Yes, you use document.getElementById, something like this:

<html>
<head>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
function swapText()
{
document.getElementById("mydiv").innerHTML = "New Text";
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="mydiv">Original text</div>
<a href="#" onClick="swapText(); return false;">change text</a>
</body>
</html>
