There is a simple way to change the text of any element.

We have to use the innerHTML property of our selected element to change the text.

Syntax

document.getElementById(‘id_name’).innerHTML = “new_text”;

Example 1

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<title>How to change text on page load</title>
<body onload="change_text()">
<p id="demo">Errorsea.com is the best website for web designing</p>
<script>
function change_text(){
document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = "Errorsea.com is the best platform to understand basic consepts of website designing";
}
</script>
</body>
</html>

After that, we set an onload event for change_text() function in <body> tag.
