How can I use javascript to change text in a document that is already loaded?

This is a quick bit of code that will allow you to add text in IE5+ and
NS6+. Deleting text can be done using the same family of document
functions but I haven't included that here.
<HTML>
<HEAD>
</HEAD>
<SCRIPT LANG=Javascript>
<!--
function DoChange() {
var objHTML, objText;
objHTML = document.createElement('P');
objHTML.setAttribute('NAME', 'txtTest');
objHTML.setAttribute('ID', 'txtTest');
document.body.appendChild(objHTML);
var strTest = prompt("Enter any text you want to appear", "whoops!");
objText = document.createTextNode(strTest);
objHTML.appendChild(objText);
delete objHTML;
delete objText;
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>
<BODY>
<P>Could be anything!</P>
<FORM><INPUT TYPE=button ONCLICK=DoChange() VALUE='Try it'></FORM>
</BODY>
</HTML>
