Dear All,
I have a javascript variable which I need to print in html now? So how can I do this ? Can I put in some label etc? Thank you.
 
Can you provide some more information ?

You could just use document.write(myVar) to print it out, or you could use the DOM to update an element such as a DIV/SPAN etc

Dear Griffit,
For example I have function getData() and in that a simple variable which I get based on some calculation. So in my body I have stated where my poi variable should appear. Thank you.

<script defer="defer" type="text/javascript">
function getData()
{
var poi;
poi // is based on calculation and I will get this value then I want to see it in my html

}
</script>

<body>
<table>
<tr>
<td><font size="3" face="Calibri" ><b>Location:</b>//here is where i want poi value to appear</font></td>
</tr>
</table>

</body>
 
Where do you execute the function?

Dear Griffit,
Thank you for the link is it possible for me to control text size with Header I guess no rite. Is there any other alternative where I can control the text size and color too. Thank you.
 
Give your table cell an id and use that to output your variable.

Code:
<td id="cellid">...

Code:
document.getElementById('cellid').innerHTML=myvariable;

And Output whatever HTML you need with the value to modify it as you need to.

Code:
document.getElementById('cellid').innerHTML="<span style='color:#4455DD; border:2px inset #DDDDDD; background-color:#666666;'>" + myvariable + "</span>";
