Cant get .innerHTML to work
Question
I am working with ruby on rails and I want to test some things out.
I have used this simple code to change the innerHTML of my body:
document.body.innerHTML = "Work will you?";
It doesn't bring any results.
I know my javascript file works correctly because i tested it with the: alert() function
When i put the document.body.innerHTML into my file it breaks the javascript (the alert no longer works)
Anybody knows whats could cause this??

You must be running your code from within the <head> tag. document.body doesn't exist at that point. You have to wait for the DOM to be ready. You can do that using something like jQuery's $(document).ready() http://jsfiddle.net/L83mL/
