    Use any IDE with syntax subscripting
    Your span tag is not closed

    <p><span id="data"  >  </span></p>

    And you can use innerText insted of textContent

    Are you saving this code in a .html file and opening it in a browser? If so, it does work

    rendering in chrome

    p.s. there is a missing closing tag character (>) for your span tag. But the browser should have no trouble handling that in this case.
