I'm assuming you want a variable so that you can change the value at any time:

<span class="redtext">
<script type="text/javascript">
var num = 100
document.write(num)
</script>
</span>

Nope, I dont want to edit any code within those span tags. There is something like innerHTML, but i can't get it to work. But i do think its possible....

I'm confused as to what you want. Did my code not work or are you looking for something different?

Your code would wrok perfectly fine if i was able to edit the span tags. But i cannot. Nothing in those span tags can be touched. I need to use JavaScript to edit them.

Ah, I see

I don't have time to work up the code this morning, but you should be looking for a regular expression in JavaScript for a search and replace.
