document.write problem

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Sep 22.2006

Hi Everyone,

Long story short: im trying to save javascript code to a variable

[CODE]testVar = “<SCRIPT>alert(‘test’);</SCRIPT>”; [/CODE]

and pass it to another webpage who executes it with

[CODE]document.write(testVar);[/CODE]

Now this works great (it comes up with the alert ‘test’) BUT because the document.write was executed supposively AFTER the onload event of <BODY>, it REPLACES the original webpage with the new code I just sent it (which causes all kinds of bad things!).

Anyone got an idea how I can get a webpage to execute javascript commands I send it WITHOUT replacing the original webpage with the code i send it??

Cheers,
Dave.

@nemesis_256Sep 22.2006 — Your document.write has to be within the body tag, wherever you want it to show up. It obviously has to be within the script tag as well. Is this what you're doing?

I did try that - and got the same result as before (it kept replacing the page with the text/script i feed document.write) ...

I suppose I could figure out what I was doing wrong before with document.write, but the eval command (I hadnt used the eval function before now) works perfectly for what im trying to do ...

Thanks,

Dave
