Displaying Text in JavaScript

Create a basic html
Set the page title
Display static header text
Include a javascript file in our html
Get a reference to an html element and chage its text content.

The html page for the application. We will use a div to display text to the user. we set an id for the div so we can grab it from javascript. And we also include our javascript file. file: index.html

<!doctype html>
<html>
 <head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <title>Display Info App</title>
 </head>
 <body>
  <h1>Display Information Application</h1>
  <div id="info"></div>
  <script src="main.js"></script>
 </body>
</html>

File: main.js

/**
* Main application
* */
const info = document.getElementById('info')
info.textContent('Helloworld!")

That’s it. We can open our index.html file in chrome, just double click it, and we will see our hello world! message displayed on the webpage.
