Here is a good tutorial on how to do it:
http://www.dansteinman.com/dynduo/en/createdestroy.html

Just ignore the stuff at the bottom starting at "The createLayer() and
destroyLayer() Functions" which is about using Steinaman's dynAPI.

I was wrong about doing it with document.write()s, BTW (sorry!). You have to
talk to the "layer" object in NS, and use the "insertAdjacentHTML" method in
IE, but you /can/ create new Divs after page load.
