display a variable

[Phil]

Hi,

I'm missing some concept here. If I define a variable in
my html code:

var somedata = "this is a test"

Can't I have display the data in this variable (this is a
test) anywhere on the page and if so how?

Thanks,
Phil

Hi Phil,
HTML doesn't do variables - I'm assuming from the var you're meaning
javascript. If so
<script type="text/javascript">
var something = "stuff">
document.write(something) // write it to the screen
alert(something) //write it in a message box
</script>
if this doesn't help you can you post back with more info on what you're
aiming to do
