Javascript help
Evening chaps.
Here's one for all you javascript types.
Here's an HTML page element:
What I want to be able to do, via javascript is to replace the text part of the field, iel change "Text I Want to replace" to anything I like (I'll actually be getting the text from within the JS)
How can I do this?
I am replacing images from JS with no problem, for example:
I can change the SRC of the above in JS by simply doing this:
So I guess it can be done, correct?

Simple example of changing span contents: (copy and paste into filename.html) 
<html>
<head>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
function displaydatetime()
{
if (!document.layers && !document.all) return;
var today;
var timeLocal;
today = new Date();
timeLocal = today.toLocaleString(); //Convert to current locale.
if (document.layers)
{
document.layers.clockLocal.document.write(timeLoca l);
document.layers.clockLocal.document.close();
}
else if (document.all)
{
clockLocal.innerHTML = timeLocal;
}
setTimeout("displaydatetime()", 500)
}
window.onload = displaydatetime;
</script>
</head>
<body>
<span id=clockLocal style="position:relative;"></span>
</body>
</html>
