I have DIV and inside div it has table. I want to change the one of the column value of table using java script. I can do it by getting the element id of column, but there is no any id assigned to any table's column. Below is the example.

<div id=usersec>

<TABLE style=TEXT-ALIGN: center; WIDTH: 279px; HEIGHT: 70px>

<TBODY>

<TR>

<TD style=FONT-FAMILY: Verdana vAlign=center align=middle>Talk to me </TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>

</div>

Is it possible to change the Talk to me text using javascript?

Yes, you need to get the element and then set a new value to element.innerHTML. It's easiest if you give an id to the element that you want to change but you don't need to

jsFiddle

<script type=text/javascript>

    var usersec = document.getElementById('usersec');

    var td = usersec.getElementsByTagName('td')[0];

    td.innerHTML = 'New value';

</script>
