Because the `#here` element doesn't exist yet. – Niet the Dark Absol Dec 14 '14 at 17:24

Probably because the DOM element does not exist when you try to access it by code – Johan Dec 14 '14 at 17:24

Did you take a look at the console? – Teemu Dec 14 '14 at 17:24

Try this:
<span id="here"></span> <script> var xxxx = "test"; //alert(xxxx); document.getElementById("here").innerHTML = xxxx; </script>
And have a look at Why does jQuery or a DOM method such as getElementById not find the element?, as @Teemu suggests.

Basically, you're trying to reference the element here before it's defined. Put your script tags under your span tag and it should work.
