document.write() will overwrite the document if the document is already done
rendering. So, it should be used not within a function, OR, within a
function that is called as the page is loaded. So, this should be okay
<script language="JavaScript">
function myfunct()
{
document.write('Hello, world.');
}
myfunct();
</script>
Where as calling myfunct from
<input type="button" value="click me" onclick="myfunct(); return false;">
will have undesirable results.

Subject: [thelist] document.write
does anyone know how to solve the problem of using document.write in
functions??
I have just done that and found that it opens a new page and only writes the
stuff inside the brackets after the document.write.... which isn't what I
want at all.
Is there any special way to stop this from happening or can you just simply
not do this in functions.
cheers
