How do I change the text of a span element using JavaScript?

Use textContent with getElementById method to get span element text in JavaScript. You can also innerHTML but it’s not recommended to use as it introduces an XSS vulnerability when the new text is user input.

For modern browsers you should use:

document.getElementById("spanId").textContent="newtext";
