javascript on macbook

general

Hi guys I have been trying javascript language on macbook sometimes some codes don’t work. such as substituting names for some id elements. when I click the button click for greeting nothing comes up! I have checked if I used the right language so there are no syntax errors
This for example doesn’t work on my mac:

Enter your name:

2 
Enter your name : 
<input type="text" id="namebox" size="12" value="">


<div id='outputDiv'>
</div>
<input type="button" 
value="click for greeting" onclick="fun()"  />

</body>

Try this? SO is a better place for these type of questions… Some mistakes:

  • The onclick is not clearly defined. I prefer brackets to code. It will tell you things like these.
  • Escape characters were not used in message
  • outputDiv was nowhere defined

Also, can be used as it is as you are anyhow changing the innerHTML. It will take the tags and parse it internally
