How to get return value from javascript to html?

Question

How can I return a value from java script to HTML?

Assume this is my JS file named first.js

function getName()
{
var Str= "Vinod";
return Str;
}

Now I need to get the value in HTML page. I have included the js file and called the function but I didn't get any value. How can I do the same.

<html>
<head>
<title>Quick example</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<script type="text/javascript" src="first.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="static/jquery.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="static/jquery.mobile-1.4.2.css" />
script type="text/javascript" src="static/jquery.mobile-1.4.2.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
document.getElementById("privacy_text").innerHTML  = getName();
 });
</script>

</head>
<body>
<textarea id="privacy_text" class="terms">
</textarea>
</body>
</html>
