I need to show text that can be changed in script.
What's the best way I mean, what's the best element to use in markup that allow you to change the text via script
And document.element.state.value = "sometext"; is correct
edit: I got it using <input> with the mode="display", now my question is how to make the input "unfocusable", i mean avoiding the input to get the focus when i move throw the bottons on the screen.
edit2: style:navIndex="none" on the input was the solution
What is the best way to show changeble text?

I believe HDiSim has a bug where it still includes navIndex="none" elements in the implicit nav list. They never get the focus, but they use up a spot in the list. So you end up having to cursor over the phantom elements.
You can also use a span or a p and use the W3C DOM APIs to change the text of them. For example, given a p named foo, you can do:

The W3C DOM spec -- http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/REC-DOM-Level-2-Core-20001113/core.html
If you don't have any initial data, you would insert a child TEXT node.

something like this, right
var newtext = document.createTextNode("sometext");document.par.appendChild(newtext);

mmm this don't work for me...
in markup I have
<p id="par" style="TextStyle01"></p>
and in script I have
document.foo.firstChild.data = "Here is the new text";
Did i use something wrong
edit: it worked when i put some initial text in the p
btw, I don't understand how the firstchild.data works, there's any document or explanation that i could read
