    Very simple Javascript question - how would I make so when a user clicks a link, some text changes on the page without reloading it?

<script type="text/javascript">
function changetext(text, id) {
    document.getElementById(id).innerHTML = text;
}
</script>

<span onclick="changetext('newtext', 'myid')">CLICK HERE</span>

<span id="myid">A line of text</span>

    James Barcellano has given the correct code for a static change.
    But if you want the text to be loaded from the database you will have to use AJAX.
    Reply if you are in need of such code.
