Try the following: function print() { var metre=document.getElementById("metre").value; var result=metre/1000; var print=document.getElementById ("output").innerHTML=result; } Two things with the way you had it. 1) Uppercase 'V' on .value 2) I believe the JS was trying to read the value before the html had loaded, therefore the element didn't exist yet.

function print() { var metre=document.getElementById("metre").value; var result=metre/1000; var print=document.getElementById ("output").innerHTML=result; } ^Move your variables into your function. It's checking the value before it even has a value, so it'll always return undefined. As well, make it .value instead of .Value to correct the syntax error. That should do the trick.
