[Javascript] Writing to Document after a function is executed.

[Rodney Myers]

Reuben,

Writing to the document after it has loaded client side will give very
'mixed' results. It may succeed in MSIE but in NN it will certainly
overwrite the current document. Since your code is contained in that
same current document that will be a problem.

You can write into a form input, a frame, or (perhaps using a
cross-browser compatible DHTML script) a layer.

Using the MSIE DOM you can write into specific table cells (for example)
using their ID.
