    Help: Simple Timed Text Replace

    Hi, I have the following in my HTML document...

    <span id='prompt'>Fil e Saved</span>

    All I want to do is replace the above "File Saved" text on my page with
    "Upload File" after about 5 seconds after the page loads again.

    Does anyone have simple code that can do this, or know of a place that has
    this code? I've scoured a bunch of sites, but, because this is probably a
    simple task, couldn't find any scripts that do exactly this.

    Thanks!!

    Monty

      Search the archives for setTimeout and read the FAQ (down until Monday
      after lunch) with regards to dynamically changing a page.

          The FAQ isn't there. Monday's too late anyway.

          Anyone else have any suggestions, please?

              Search the c.l.j archives at groups.google.c om

              You can find the FAQ there as well, posted in plain text.

                  Any reasonable News service will still have the News version of the FAQ
                  which was posted last Friday; indeed should have all articles from at
                  least a week or two back.

                  Perhaps some of those whose sigs refer to the newsgroup FAQ and are not
                  already full might add a reference to the FAQ in News? It requires only
                  one line; see below.

                  The code could be obtained by simplifying the start of my js-date2.htm;
                  to which I have added an example using DynWrite from the newsgroup FAQ.
