You have a ;, and onclick property should be a function.

btn.onclick( p.textContent = txt.value; );
                                      ^

Remove it, and wrap everything in a function: 

btn.onclick = function(){
    p.textContent = txt.value;
};

I believe it is because you are trying to name your function in the parameter passed into 'ready'.

First line should be:

$( document ).ready(function() {
