change h2 text with javascript

I want to change my h2 text to something else when i write in the input field and hit the button.

          <label>Title
              <input id="titleTxt" type="text">
          </label>
          <input type="submit" id="titleBtn" value="Add title" onclick="getResault()">
          <br>
          <br>
          <label>Add new idea
              <input id="newIdea" type="text">
          </label>
          <input type="submit" id="byBtn" value="Add" onclick="getResault()">

          <h2 id="ideTitle">What to do on saturday</h2>

(function(){

    //HTML objects
    var titleTxt;
    var titleBtn;
    var ideTitle;


    var init = function(){

        var setHTMLObjects = function(){
            titleTxt = document.getElementById("titleTxt");
            titleBtn = document.getElementById("titleBtn");
            ideTitle = document.getElementById("ideTitle");
        }();//end setHTMLObjects

        var setEvents = function(){
            titleBtn.onclick = saveTittel;
        }();//end setEvents

    }();//end init

    function saveTittel(){
    ideTitle.innerHTML = titleTxt.value;
    }

Hi Anders, I've edited your markup so that your code will display properly. Check out the markdown cheatsheet at the bottom of this page to see how.

:point_right: It looks like you're missing the closing of the outer function, and its invocation.

Unless Justin accidentally truncated it while he reformatted. Try adding this at the bottom:

})();
