Fix your HTML to use the correctish MIME type (text/javascript), spell return and function (thanks Rob) correctly then just replace your question marks with result().

Are you simply talking about var gotresult = result();? Or does that not work for some reason?

var a;function result(){ return "string";}function setVal(){ var a=result();alert(a)document.getElementById('test').innerHTML=a;}
