Change a text custom field value from a VisualForce page

Dear. 
This seems an easy question with easy solution, but I don't find a technical solution after look in google, developer salesforce, etc.

This is what I want: I need to perform a set of validations in a lot of custom field values of the Opportunity. After see different options (process builder, validation rules, formulas, etc) the best approach if to use a VisualForce page. In that VisualForce page I want to show a text custom field, with a custom error message that can change via visualforce/javascript code.

This is my issue: I am not able to change the text custom field value. I have no erros. Just no changes on the text value. Below is the code I used in the VisualForce page.

Do you have any suggestion?
  
<apex:page standardcontroller="Opportunity">

    <apex:form id="formId">
        <apex:pageblock id="pb">
        
            <apex:pageBlockSection id="Block1" title="Opportunity Information" columns="2">
        
                <apex:inputField id="Warning_message" value="{!Opportunity.Warning_message__c}" />
                
            </apex:pageBlockSection>

        
        </apex:pageblock>
    </apex:form>
               
           
    <script type="text/javascript">
    
        function myFunction() 
        {
            document.getElementById('{!Opportunity.Warning_message__c}').value = "This will not change the value";
            document.getElementById('{!Opportunity.Warning_message__c}').innerHTML= "This will not change the value";
            document.getElementById('Warning_message').value = "This will not change the value";
            document.getElementById('Warning_message').innerHTML= "This will not change the value";            
            document.getElementById('{!$Component.formId.pb.Block1.Warning_message}').value = "This will not change the value";            
        }    
                            
        var msgObj= document.getElementById('{!Opportunity.Warning_message__c}');
        msgObj.value = "This will not change the value";            
        msgObj.innerHTML= "This will not change the value";            

    </script>
    
</apex:page>

Many thanks.

Change this line 
<apex:inputField id="Warning_message" value="{!Opportunity.Warning_message__c}" />

to 
<apex:inputField id="Warning_message" styleClass="warningTxtBoxCls" value="{!Opportunity.Warning_message__c}" />

Change Script 
<script>
window.onload = function() {
  document.getElementsByClassName('warningTxtBoxCls')[0].value = 'This is definately changing the value';
};
</script>

This will work definately... enjoy :)
