Change div id text content

Question

so i've been trying to change the text in a div.

<div id="company">
<div id="companyname">some name</div>
</div>

I thought a simple:

document.getElementById("companyname").innerText = "Company";

Would work, but no. Help would be appreciated.

tyr this document.getElementById("companyname").innerHTML = "Company"; — Nishit Maheta, Mar 03 '15 at 11:11

Make sure you are appending content when Document is loaded completely.

Try to put it in :

window.onload = function() { document.getElementById("companyname").innerText = "Company"; };

Or Using jQuery:

$(document).ready(function() {
    $('#companyname').html('company');
};
