dynamic label change

[mail2madhur]

I need to display different text on label on click of button.
<table>
<tr>
<td> ?????</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<TEXTAREA id="notesId" name="notesdescDisplay" rows=12 cols=83
value=""></TEXTAREA>
</td>
</tr>
</table>


Question 1. what should be used at place of ???? for dynamic chnage of
label i.e label tag or anything else
Question 2. is it necessary to provide "for" attribute for label ? also
textarea in in different <TR> so will it make any difference if label
attribute if set to textarea id.
Question 3. please soultion whcih will work for IE, mozilla and
netscape

thanks in advance.

That sounds dubious. Why?

Question 1. what should be used at place of ???? for dynamic chnage of

Label should be fine (assuming you are using it as such).

Question 2. is it necessary to provide "for" attribute for label?

Yes. Support for implicit labelling (i.e. having the form control inside the
label element) is rather weak and ...

also textarea in in different <TR>

.... you can't do that anyway.

Question 3. please soultion whcih will work for IE, mozilla and
netscape

You probably want createTextNode and replaceChild.
