Nobody can guess what "not working" means.

Click the green "Improve question" link and update your question to include a proper description of the problem. Include the full details of any error(s), and remember to indicate which line of code they relate to.

NB: Your script is setting the inner HTML of an element with id="demo", but your document has no such element.
