Hello

I have some problem with generating output from my javascript.

The problem is…

As soon as I use the document.write() command it seems like all variables and functions are reset and the variables/functions get “undefined” (?) I have earlier posted a topic

where I have noticed this problem… my questions are is there a known problem with this and is there a workaround?

Regards/D_S

@KorJun 22.2006 — Use dynamic methods instead of document.write()

Use [B]DOM methods[/B] or non-standard but fully crossbrowser method [B]innerHTML[/B]

@CharlesJun 22.2006 — The problem is that document.write starts a new document if you use it after the document is complete and the document stream is closed. Which makes sense, you're trying to write outside the HTML element.

Also, document.write doesn't - or shouldn't - work with XHTML at all.

Success!
