Newb Question? Changing text dynamically on a page.

[Digithead]

Hi all...

Forgive the newb question, but I'm just starting to do this design stuff in my free time.

I was wondering if there was a way to have a person type in some text somewhere on a page, and have that text replace another section of text.

Example:

If a section says "Hello World", and a person goes to a portion of the page (not necessarily the same page) and types in "Goodbye Cruel World", "Hello World" gets replaced...Automagically? possible?

Don't wanna get crazy w/ this...Using Frontpage to play around on... Don't have a database, not interested in forms, would like to stay away from JS...simple and effective is what I'm after.

Thanks in advance.

What you are after is not doable through HTML. HTML is a static language, and cannot be used in dynamic situations such as the one you are describing.

The easiest way to do this is using JavaScript. Feel free to try not to look at the code below.

In the body:
<SPAN ID="SPAN"></SPAN>
<INPUT TYPE=BUTTON VALUE="Change text" ONCLICK="Text()">
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
function Text()
{document.getElementById("SPAN") = "New text";}
</SCRIPT>
Thus ending the code.
