It's working for me in both IE 7 / 8 and FF.

Are you sure you copied it correctly? Form name is correct? Field name is correct? No syntax errors?

If you use Firefox, open your page, hit ctrl+shift+j, hit clear, then refresh your page.

Does an error show up?

Code: 
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function newPage(){
      var a=form1.jiggy2.value
      document.write(a);
</script>
</head>

<body>
<form name="form1" method="post" action="#">
	<input type="text" name="jiggy2" />
	<input type="button" name="button" value="Click Me" onClick="newPage()">
</form>
</body>
</html>

1.
Code: 
window.document.getElementById("DIV ID").innerHTML = a;

2. It uses PHP and stores posts in a database.

<script type="text/javascript">
function newPage(){
      var a = [COLOR="Red"]document.[/COLOR]form1.jiggy2.value[COLOR="Red"];[/COLOR] <!-- The ';' is not required, but is good coding practice -->
      document.write(a);
[COLOR="Red"]}[/COLOR]

<body>
<form name="form1" method="post" action="#">
	<input type="text" name="jiggy2" />

A combination of a MySQL database to store the information and PHP to retrieve and process that information.

That is the website I used when I first started out, very helpful.
