I was able to fix it like this: // The code starts here ---> <html> <head> </head> <body> <div id="firstDiv"> <h1>Hello World!</h1> <p>Here we have some text.</p> <p>Here we have more text.</p> <p>And here we have even more text.</p> </div> <script> var myElements = document.getElementsByTagName("p"); var arrElements = myElements; for (x = 0; x < arrElements.length; x++) { arrElements[x].innerHTML = "Change"; } </script> </body> </html> // The code ends here <--- You were missing some ";", but even with them, the code was unable to run. So I've added few things, and now it's okay. You can place it inside a function and make it work with setTimeout or setInterval. I hope this is useful. You can test the working code here: https://code.sololearn.com/W783mbBH781t/#html

This works fine for me: <html> <head> <title>Page Title</title> <script> function change() // <-- just forgot the brackets ;) { document.getElementById("p").innerHTML= "Changed"; } setTimeout(change, 1000); </script> </head> <body> <p id="p">Paragraph</p> </body> </html>

Still doesn't work I wrote <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>Page Title</title> <script> function change { document.getElementById("p").innerHTML= "Changed"; } setTimeout(change, 1000); </script> </head> <body> <p id="p">Paragraph</p> </body> </html>

I think the problem is that your <p> has not been loaded when your function happens. If the function was in your body it should work.
