Answer 2

Try the following:

function print() {
var metre=document.getElementById("metre").value;
var result=metre/1000;
var print=document.getElementById ("output").innerHTML=result;
}

Two things with the way you had it.
1) Uppercase 'V' on .value
2) I believe the JS was trying to read the value before the html had loaded, therefore the element didn't exist yet.

Answer 3

function print() {
var metre=document.getElementById("metre").value;
var result=metre/1000;
var print=document.getElementById ("output").innerHTML=result;
}

^Move your variables into your function. It's checking the value before it even has a value, so it'll always return undefined. As well, make it .value instead of .Value to correct the syntax error. That should do the trick.
