thank You it works !!

But ... tell me why this is wrong:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<script>
document.getElementById("myspan").innerHTML="Whatever" ;
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<span id="myspan">
</span>
</BODY>
</HTML>

debugger return error:   'document.getElementById(...)' is empty or is 
not an object

Why's that?
