several ways...but before i answer I would like to point you to a couple of
references
http://www.prototypejs.org/api
http://thinkweb2.com/projects/prototype-checklist/
now the best way to do it is
$(''element_id'').update(''something cool'')
because you can chain stuff together (the example is in the second link)
but sometimes i have found that for some reason update() doesn''t work
(not
sure why, but often doesn''t really matter) in which case i fall back to
$(''element_id'').innerHTML = "something else cool, but not
quite as cool"

thats why i said to read the second link that somehow managed to stay all on
one line
http://thinkweb2.com/projects/prototype-checklist/
the reason its cooler is because you can chain commands in a line, ala the
above link:
with the not quite as cool method you can''t do:
$(''coolestWidgetEver'').update(''some nifty
content'').addClassName(''highlight'').next().hide()
as for the technical reason, I can''t really answer that, and i should
have
qualified my statement with based on my own experiences update()
doesn''t
always work.
