Answer 1

Alternative solution: If you don't particularly need it to be the JavaScript that changes the content, if you just need the content of the div changed, then you can use the developer tools in your browser to do that.

In Firefox: Developer Tools > Inspector > right click the HTML and choose "Edit as HTML".

In Chrome: Tools > More Tools > Developer Tools > Elements > right click the HTML and choose "Edit as HTML".

In IE: Developer Tools > HTML > Edit Icon (looks like a piece of paper with a pencil)
