Hi,
I am using HTML 4.01. In HTML i called and function which returns a string value. The return value is captured in a variable named 'var returnValue'. When i popup a message with alert function, my 'returnValue' has expected output value.

Now my question is, i want value of 'returnValue' variable inside an HTML table. When i wrote code inside td (table data)
"

returnValue

" it is not displaying the value of the variable where as it is displaying the variable name in the html output page. I tried different things but none of them works and my knowledge in HTML and Javascript is not good. Can anybody help me to display a script vaiable value inside an HTML table data.

Thanks in Advance.

Try this:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script>
function concat(){
    var first= document.getElementById("first").value;
    var second = document.getElementById("second").value;
    var result = document.getElementById("result");
    result.innerText = first + " " + second;
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<input type="text" id="first" value="hello">
<input type="text" id="second" value="world">
<button onclick="concat()">Concat</button>
<div id="result">waiting for result</div>
</body>
</html>
