I want to insert some text in a paragraph
tag, but here the paragraph tag doesn't have an ID. So, using the ID of the body tag I want to insert text. How can I do that?

Following is my HTML code:

<html>

    <head xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

        <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=7">

        <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">

    </head>



    <body dir="ltr" id="tinymce" class="mceContentBody " contenteditable="true">

        <p><br data-mce-bogus="1"></p>

    </body>

</html>

Now, I want to add text using JavaScript in the p tag.

I want that text to come from another variable. Is it possible using jQuery?

JavaScript solution:
To add text in the first p tag.

 document.getElementsByTagName(p)[0].innerHTML=Whatever text!;

Snippet:

var list = document.getElementsByTagName(p)[0].innerHTML=Whatever text!;

//alert(list);

<html>



<head xmlns=http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml>

  <meta http-equiv=X-UA-Compatible content=IE=7>

  <meta http-equiv=Content-Type content=text/html; charset=UTF-8>

</head>



<body dir=ltr id=tinymce class=mceContentBody  contenteditable=true>

  <p>

    <br data-mce-bogus=1>
