Display input from box in div

JavaScript
1

I don’t know if this can be done with javascript or not but anyway.

I want to have an input box and when you click the submit button then I want the text from the input box to be displayed in a div

Yes this can be done with js. The attribute value will contain the text in the input box. Set that as text for the div and done !

    </form>
    <div id="bar">&nbsp;</div>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="foo.js"></script>
  </body>
</html>

foo.js:

document.getElementById("foo").onsubmit = function () {
    var div = document.getElementById("bar");
    div.replaceChild(document.createTextNode(document.getElementById("i").value), div.firstChild);
    return false;
};

In the form there is this line

action="showtext.php"

what goes in showtext.php

That’s where you should put the equivalent functionality to handle non-JavaScript user agents (browsers). In this case I assume that it would generate the same page, but with the specified text rendered in the <div>.

In other words, showtext.php would probably be the same script that generates the page in the first place.
