JavaScript DOM – Changing HTML

📌 What is DOM HTML Manipulation?

JavaScript allows you to change HTML content dynamically. This makes your web pages interactive and engaging. You can update the content of elements, modify attributes, and even generate new HTML based on user actions or data.

📝 Changing HTML Content

You can use JavaScript to change the content of an HTML element using innerHTML or innerText. This is useful when you want to display updated information to the user.

Syntax:
element.innerHTML = "new content"
element.innerText = "new text"
