How do I return a value from a function in JavaScript to a textbox in HTML

This is my HTML code:

<head>

</head>

<body>

   LIMIT<input id='limit' name='' value='' class=''>

   <button id='go' class=''>GO</button>

   TOTAL<input id='total' name='' value='' class=''>

   <script src='js/limitfor.js'></script>


</body>

And this is my JavaScript:

document.getElementById('go').onclick = function () {

 var limit = document.getElementById('limit').value;

 limit = parseFloat(limit);

 total = 0;

 for (i=0; i<=limit ;i++) {

     total = total + i;        

 };

};

If I alert the total, I can see that the function works, but I need the total to be in the textbox rather than in a pop up alert.

use document.getElementById(put id of the text area where you want to output your answer or result).value = answer(whatever is your answer or result you want to reflect in textbox or textarea)

First select the particular element (i.e. total text field) in the form and set its value using assignment operator '=' 

document.getElementById("total").value=total;

Just assign the value in total text box after your for loop is completed

 var limit = document.getElementById('limit').value;

 limit = parseFloat(limit);

 total = 0;

 for (i=0; i<=limit ;i++) {

   total = total + i;        

};
document.getElementById("total").value = total; 

};

You will need to set the value of the input element:

document.getElementById("total").value = total;
