[thelist] Is it possible to output a JavaScript variable dire ctly to the body content after the page has been loaded?

[Pearson, John]

sure but what would trigger the action?  This example updates a <td></td> with
id=ncount when a particular text box loses focus.

onblur="document.getElementById('ncount').innerText='(The wording is only:
'+this.value.length+' characters so far!)'"

<!--receiver for the length-->
<td width="300" id="ncount" style="color: #CC3300; font-size: x-small;">( 0
characters)</font></td>

This works in IE6, getting it to work under any other circumstances would be the
challenge.

 | I want to output a message, based on a user choose via a 
 | form menu, directly
 | to the body content (i.e. between the <p></p>), but I 
 | haven't found any way
 | to do it. I know I can do it through alert and <input>. But if I use
 | document.write('message') the message won't update, after 
 | the page was first
 | loaded.
 | 
 | So my question is: Is it possible to output a JavaScript 
 | variable directly
 | to the body content after the page has been loaded?
 | 
 | Thanks,
