Hi:

    I wish to change the textual content of the following <span> element.

    <span id="ierrmsg">This is original error msg</span>

    I have tried document.getElementById("ierrmsg").value ="new error msg" ;

    .. and I've also tried to do .nodeValue,  .text, etc.

But nothing seemed to work --   and my mind is 'blanker' than ever :(

Help please ??

Thank you.
