function (F1) in Javascript

Question

I'm trying to write a program that allows the user to enter any word and then press the button to get the result.

The result is "hello".

Can anyone help me to figure out why the result doesn't appear when I render it?

   <head>
      <meta charset = "utf-8">
      <script>
          function start() { 
              var button = document.getElementById("add" );
              button.addEventListener( "click", t, false );
          }

          function t() {  
             r.innerHTML = "Hello";
             window.addEventListener( "load", start, false );
          }         
      </script>     
   </head>

Please help if you know what is wrong in my code.

This looks like reasonably normal HTML and JavaScript to me... Not sure what you two are on about. — mellamokb

Is that your entire code? I don't see a call to start()

Your current call embedded in F1 needs to be moved out of the function into the main code so that it runs when the page is loaded:

window.addEventListener( "load", start, false );

function start()
...

The real problem is that there is a call to start embedded in F1 (window.addEventListener( "load", start, false );) which needs to be moved outside of the function call: jsfiddle.net/uU2K7
