html code

<div class="rightdiv"> <div id = "pastcalcblock">      <h3> past calculations </h3>          <input type = "text" size = "1" id = "text1"/>          <input type = "text" size = "1" id = "text2"/>          <input type = "text" size = "1" id = "text3"/>          <input type = "text" size = "1" id = "text4"/><br>          <input type = "button" value = "ok" id = "operation" onclick = "display()"/>          <div id = "resulttab">                 sort<br>                     <input type = "button" value = "as entered" id = "enteredbut">                     <input type = "button" value = "by result" id = "resultbut" onclick() = "sortdisplay()"><br><br>                     <div id="expressions">                     </div>                             </div>         </div> 

javascript code

function display() {     var arrayone =[document.getelementbyid('text1').value,document.getelementbyid('text2').value,document.getelementbyid('text3').value,document.getelementbyid('text4').value ];      new_array=arrayone.join(" ");     var para = document.createelement("p");     var t = document.createtextnode(new_array);     para.appendchild(t)     document.getelementbyid("expressions").appendchild(para);  }  function sortdisplay() {     function dosort() {     var container = document.getelementbyid("expressions");     var elements = container.childnodes;     var sortme = [];     (var i=0; i<elements.length; i++) {       }  } 

use .textcontent contents of text node in p element. split array, sort array, put div.

function sortdisplay() {     function dosort() {     var container = document.getelementbyid("expressions");     var sortme = container.childnodes[0].textcontent.split(' ');     sort(sortme);     container.innerhtml = '';     new_array=sortme.join(" ");     var para = document.createelement("p");     var t = document.createtextnode(new_array);     para.appendchild(t)     document.getelementbyid("expressions").appendchild(para); }
