Dynamically change a normal text statement on a html page

section or even use a header. Give this section a unique ID, use javascript to get a reference to the element and use the .innerHTML property to update the text.

To implement the countdown, you need to set a timer.
The example shows this and uses setTimeout for the timer.

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
var iTime=5;
function update() {
var txt = 'Will update progress ';
if (iTime>1) { txt = txt + 'in ' + iTime + ' seconds.'; }
else {
  if (iTime==1) { txt = txt + 'in one second.'; }
  else { txt = txt + 'now.'; }
}
document.getElementById("cnt").innerHTML = txt;
iTime=iTime-1;
if(iTime>=0) { ID=window.setTimeout("update();",1000); }
else { document.location.href="/request?70"; }
} 
// -->

</script>
</head>
<body onload="update()">

<div name=cnt id=cnt>Will update progress in 5 seconds.</div>

I have a question about this JavaScript code ....

What about when if i want to write text direct to that var :
'var txt = 'Will update progress ';'

then to be able for change a UNKNOW text string placed at runtime
withnot realod the entire page .
just like the function gets the time,a place where it can get a string .

something like :
'var MyStringFromUnknowRssFeed;' <<But from where it came from ?

Then works like this :

<div name=cnt id=cnt>its realtime rss feed</div> <<<Updated right here ?!!
