How to change HTML code inside of a div with javascript? [closed]

Answer 1

document.getElementById('special-id').innerHTML = "Whatever you want to replace with";

Answer 2

The easy way: first, get your element with e.g. getElementById, then set innerHTML to your new code.

var div = document.getElementById('special-id');
div.innerHTML = '<span>hello world</span>';

The DOM method only way: create your new HTML nodes using document.createElement or document.createTextNode and then append them to your element with appendChild.

// assuming `div` as above
var newNode = document.createElement('span');
span.appendChild(
    document.createTextNode('hello world')
);
div.appendChild(span);
