same as you would with html.

yea, you just do all the javascrip stuff the same thing as in a html document

you just have to make sure to execute the new php on your server, otherwise it won't work

for example if you are dynamically changing the content of some "objID," this will not work

inside of your javascript somewhere:
(since the new text never gets to your server, it is just changed on the user's computer)

however this would:
in you html
in showavlue.php
(since yourJSfunction would actually casue the file showvalue.php to execute on your server and send the results to the user's computer)

so when you print text w/ javascript, it will not compile if you just print it to your html page, you have to have the javascript call the actual php file, so that it runs on the server

Just understand that the Javascript is being interpreted by your user's computer and acts on the HTML that is generated by your PHP script on the server. In other words, you can't use Javascript to change things at the server level like PHP does. But PHP can output javascript right along with the rest of your HTML.
