<script type="text/javascript">
function table()
{
    var value = document.getElementById("table").value;
    var demop = document.getElementById("demo");
    var a;
    for(a=1; a <= 10;++a)

    }
    }
</script>
</body>

Your for loop is overwriting the innerHTML of demop each time it is executing. So when your for loop reaches last iteration a will be 10 and hence you only get the last value "10*10=100"

So you should append the result every time you iterate your for loop just make it like this

demop.innerHTML += (value + "*" + a + "=" + (value*a) + "<br />");

So you will get your output on seperate lines.

Thanks for helping.Sir you are asolutely right.i have did this but now my another question is i want to clear table on requesting new table please tell me what should i do?? – Wichman 21/10, 2012 at 11:48

For your second question do one thing, before your for loop write this code demop.innerHTML = "" so it will clear all contents in your <p> tag – Mesothorium 21/10, 2012 at 11:55

can you please tell me which website or which company tutorial is best (All programming tutorials). – Wichman 21/10, 2012 at 13:3

I have gone through many websites but none of them is a ONE STOP FOR ALL TUTORIALS. You should look at many websites for your need as each of them has something special to understand rather then relying on a single website. – Mesothorium 21/10, 2012 at 13:36

When you call demop.innerHTML = something you overwrite it each time. You should either:

Put the entire string in a temporary result variable and then give it to innerHTML
Concatenate the different results by doing

demop.innerHTML = demop.innerHTML + (value+"*"+ a +"="+ value*a);
