Thank you! I figured out from the internet by the way

the code was:

var addMessage = function() {
       document.getElementById("text").innerHTML = "thanks for submitting this message!";
};[/code:2xjucj21]

or quicker solution :

$.("#element").html("thanks for submitting this message!");[/code:3ptac5ss]

$.("#element").html("thanks for submitting this message!");[/code:29lt2a9t]
