DHTML Test
I was wondering why this doesn't work.
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<html>
<head>
<title>Test</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
function tester() {
var temp = document.getElementById('myp');
temp.nodeValue = "success";
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<p id="myp">fail</p>
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit" onclick="tester(); return false;" />
</body>
</html>

Don't be. I own a copy of that book too, and it explains clearly how the text inside HTML tags is also a node. Hence the firstChild.
