How to write messages to the screen without using "document.write()"?

Question

Amit Singh · Answer

When the method showStatus is invoked it will change the content of the span.
Example:
function showStatus(message) {
var element = document.getElementById("mystatus");
element.textContent = message; //for Firefox
element.innerHTML = message; //for IE (why can't we all just get along?)
return true;
}
<span id="mystatus">Test. </span>
