Add a space between each character, but in a method

Hey :) I know a similiar question was asked before, but i just cant get it through. I want to create a method called something like makeMeSpaces, so my h2 text will have a space between each character.. and i might want to use it elsewhere aswell. I have this until now, from the logic point of view:
var text = "hello";
var betweenChars = ' '; // a space
document.querySelector("h1").innerHTML = (text.split('').join(betweenChars));
it also works pretty fine, but i think i want to do
<h2>Hello.makeMeSpaces()</h2>
or something like this
Thank you guys!

If you really want this in a 'reusable function,' you'd have to write your own:
function addSpaces(text) {
return text.split('').join(' ');
}
Then, elsewhere in code, you could call it like so:
var elem = document.querySelector('h2');
elem.innerHTML = addSpaces(elem.innerHTML);

Maybe this is what you want , not exactly what you showed but some what similar
Element.prototype.Spacefy = function() {
// innerText for IE < 9
// for others it's just textContent
var elem = (this.innerText) ? this.innerText : this.textContent,
// replacing HTML spaces (' ') with simple spaces (' ')
text = elem.replace(/ /g, " ");
// here , space = " " because HTML ASCII spaces are " "
space = " ",
// The output variable
output = "";
for (var i = 0; i < text.length; i++) {
// first take a character form element text
output += text[i];
// then add a space
output += space;
};
// return output
this.innerHTML = output;
};
function myFunction() {
var H1 = document.getElementById("H1");
// calling function
H1.Spacefy();
};
<h1 id="H1">
<!-- The tags inside the h1 will not be taken as text -->
<div>
Hello
</div>
</h1>
<br />
<button onclick="myFunction ()">Space-fy</button>
You can also click the button more than once :)

text string output stops after first space, js/html

I apologize in advance, this is the first Stack Overflow question I've posted. I was tasked with creating a new ADA compliant website for my school district's technology helpdesk. I started with minimal knowledge of HTML and have been teaching myself through w3cschools. So here's my ordeal:
I need to create a page for all of our pdf and html guides. I'm trying to create a somewhat interactable menu that is very simple and will populate a link array from an onclick event, but the title="" text attribute drops everything after the first space and I've unsuccessfully tried using a replace() method since it's coming from an array and not static text.
I know I'm probably supposed to use an example, but my work day is coming to a close soon and I wanted to get this posted so I just copied a bit of my actual code.
So here's what's happening, in example 1 of var gmaildocAlt the tooltip will drop everything after Google, but will show the entire string properly with example 2. I was hoping to create a form input for the other helpdesk personnel to add links without knowing how to code, but was unable to resolve the issue of example 1 with a
var fix = gmaildocAlt.replace(/ /g, "&nb sp;")
//minus the space
//this also happens to break the entire function if I set it below the rest of the other variables
I'm sure there are a vast number of things I'm doing wrong, but I would really appreciate the smallest tip to make my tooltip display properly without requiring a replace method.
// GMAIL----------------------------
function gmailArray() {
var gmaildocLink = ['link1', 'link2'];
var gmaildocTitle = ["title1", "title2"];
var gmaildocAlt = ["Google Cheat Sheet For Gmail", "Google 10-Minute Training For Gmail"];
var gmailvidLink = [];
var gmailvidTitle = [];
var gmailvidAlt = [];
if (document.getElementById("gmailList").innerHTML == "") {
for (i = 0; i < gmaildocTitle.length; i++) {
arrayGmail = "" + gmaildocTitle[i] + "" + "<br>";
document.getElementById("gmailList").innerHTML += arrayGmail;
}
for (i = 0; i < gmailvidTitle.length; i++) {
arrayGmail1 = "";
document.getElementById("").innerHTML += arrayGmail1;
}
} else {
document.getElementById("gmailList").innerHTML = "";
}
}
<div class="fixed1">
<p id="gmail" onclick="gmailArray()" class="gl">Gmail</p>
<ul id="gmailList"></ul>
<p id="calendar" onclick="calendarArray()" class="gl">Calendar</p>
<ul id="calendarList"></ul>
</div>

Building HTML manually with strings can cause issues like this. It's better to build them one step at a time, and let the framework handle quoting and special characters - if you're using jQuery, it could be:
var $link = jQuery("<a></a>")
.attr("href", gmaildocLink[i])
.attr("title", gmaildocAlt[i])
.html(gmaildocTitle[i]);
jQuery("#gmailList").append($link).append("<br>");
Without jQuery, something like:
var link = document.createElement("a");
link.setAttribute("href", gmaildocLink[i]);
link.setAttribute("title", gmaildocAlt[i]);
link.innerHTML = gmaildocTitle[i];
document.getElementById("gmailList").innerHTML += link.outerHTML + "<br>";
If it matters to your audience, setAttribute doesn't work in IE7, and you have to access the attributes as properties of the element: link.href = "something";.

If you add ' to either side of the variable strings then it will ensure that the whole value is read as a single string. Initially, it was assuming that the space was exiting the Title attribute.
Hope the below helps!
UPDATE: If you're worried about using apostrophes in the title strings, you can use " by escaping them using a . This forces JS to read it as a character and not as part of the code structure. See the example below.
Thanks for pointing this one out guys! Sloppy code on my part.

Convert Jquery to Motools

In my project motools is used I haven't work with it ever. I have implemented my requirement in Jquery. Can anyone please convert it in motools if you know how to do it?
Here is code:
<input id="txtId" type="text" onkeyup="keywordWithcomma(event , this);"></input>
<div id="res" style="color:red;">Please Enter Keyword less than 15 charactres </div>
JQuery
function keywordWithcomma(event , obj){
$('#res').hide();
reg = /[^a-z,^A-Z^0-9,-, ]/g;
obj.value = obj.value.replace(reg,"");
var txt = $('#txtId').val().split(",");
var count = txt[txt.length-1];
if(count.length>15){
$('#res').show();
obj.value = obj.value.replace(count.substring(14),"");
}
}
Working JSFiddle Thanks in advance. :)

You just use jQuery for showing/hiding the elements and getting value of them. There is no need to use a DOM library for such short snippet, vanilla JavaScript is your friend:
function keywordWithcomma(event, obj) {
document.getElementById('res').style.display = 'none';
reg = /[^a-z,^A-Z^0-9,-, ]/g;
obj.value = obj.value.replace(reg, "");
var txt = document.getElementById('txtId').value.split(",");
var count = txt[txt.length - 1];
if (count.length > 15) {
document.getElementById('res').style.display = 'block';
obj.value = obj.value.replace(count.substring(14), "");
}
}

Trying to set a variable using document.getElementById('').innerHTML

I am utterly new to JavaScript and am trying to self-learn a few things - so be gentle.
I am trying to set a variable using document.getElementById(' ').innerHTML but I can't get it to work - I just get "undefined" returned when I try to use this variable.
All of the examples I have seen says that this should work, but it isn't and I'm at my wits' end. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
This is the code...
<script>
var str = document.getElementById('str').innerHTML;
function calc()
{
if(document.getElementById('checkbox').checked)
document.getElementById('str').innerHTML = str ;
else
document.getElementById('str').innerHTML='unchecked';
}
</script>
Checkbox: <input type="checkbox" id="checkbox" name="checkbox" onclick="calc();"/>
<div>Str: <span id="str">6</span></div>
My ultimate aim is to add a number to the variable "str" using another variable; so something like...
var str = document.getElementById('str').innerHTML;
var add = 2
function calc()
{
if(document.getElementById('checkbox').checked)
document.getElementById('str').innerHTML = str + add;
else
document.getElementById('str').innerHTML='unchecked';
}
I'm aware that I probably need to parse the str variable as an integer for this, but I've stumbled before I've even got that far.
Please help.

The value of str is determined when the page is loading (and before the element exists). I believe you want it inside calc:
function calc()
{
var span = document.getElementById('str');
var str = span.innerHTML;
var add = 2;
if(document.getElementById('checkbox').checked)
span.innerHTML = str + add;
else
span.innerHTML = 'unchecked';
}

The problem is that your span is below the script and actually str is not still there. Here is an example which works http://jsfiddle.net/krasimir/2C25E/
<script>
function calc() {
var str = document.getElementById('str').innerHTML;
var add = 2;
if(document.getElementById('checkbox').checked)
document.getElementById('str').innerHTML = parseInt(str) + add;
else
document.getElementById('str').innerHTML='unchecked';
}
</script>
Checkbox: <input type="checkbox" id="checkbox" name="checkbox" onclick="calc();"/>
<div>Str: <span id="str">6</span></div>
Also you should use parseInt to be sure that you get a Number and not a String.

if you had included the script in side the <head>tag This will work for you.
function calc() {
var str = document.getElementById('str').innerHTML;
//more code

Try this, a working version and a bit optimised:
var str = document.getElementById('str');
var chk = document.getElementById('checkbox');
var add = 2
function calc() {
chk.checked ? str.innerHTML = parseInt(str.innerHTML) + add : str.innerHTML = 6;
}
chk.onchange = function () {
calc();
};

You had syntax errors in your code.

You can't add strings and if expressions.
