Displaying an update message within a page

[apple17]

I have a page where a user selects from a drop down and then, in javascript, I check off an appropriate checkbox. I'd like to also display a message WITHIN THE PAGE, not an ALERT box that indicates the update made on the page. I'd like this message to be in the middle of the page, next to the drop down.

How can I do thia?

You can create an element dynamically like so:

var newDiv = document.createElement('div');

and append it to another element like so:

existingEl.appendChild(newDiv);

You can fill in the contents of the new DIV using:

newDiv.innerHTML = '<p>Some text here!</p>';

That should give you something to go on.

Hope this helps,
