Set value/text of a <span> element using Dojo
dojo, javascript
Solution
That's because `value` is only used when working with form fields. If you want to replace the actual content of the DOM node, you use `innerHTML` or `textContent` in stead. For example:
dojo.byId("hours").innerHTML = "00";
dojo.byId("hours").textContent = "00";
or
domAttr.set("hours", "innerHTML", "00");
domAttr.set("hours", "textContent", "00");
The difference between `innerHTML` and `textContent` is that the latter only allows text content (like the property says), while `innerHTML` also allows to input HTML. If you don't trust the input, you should definitely be using `textContent`.
Be aware: you need to put quotes around the `00` because else it will be interpreted as a numeric value, which means the first `0` is skipped when you output it.
I also changed your JSFiddle.
Problem
I am developing a stopwatch application in an attempt to learn the Dojo Toolkit. So, to start with, I need to set the hours, minutes, seconds and milliseconds to 0. I tried: ``` dojo.byId("hours").value = "00"; ``` Also tried: ``` domAttr.set("hours", 00); ``` It didnt work. In the console, the following error is thrown: ``` GET http://jobs.jsfiddle.net/random.js?callback=Request.JSONP.request_map.request_0 500 (Internal Server Error) moo-clientcide-1.3.js?jobofferinsidebar:3146 ``` Here is my fiddle so far. Please help!
