For the record the subject is “Document.write” has an annomile of some sort. If it is NOT RELATED to this subject DO NOT POST A REPLY!
Now that I got that out of the way; I am programming in JavaScript and I am purposefully NOT trying to couple my code to the “java” framework or to Microsoft IE or anything else for that matter. I am using very broad terms for the reason of “portability” and in this case I am attempt to use 1 specific function which “writes to the document” Document.write.
The specifics are as follows.
I initate a “javascript PROGRAM” not a javascript function but rather an entire loop which never ends until the user exits the site. This loop is initalized on the <body onload=”runProgram()”> tag. Where ‘runProgram’ is executed and all the eternal specifics of the code are created.
In this case I have a document.write(someValue); function which is being called or invoked. The invoker is a sub routine within the document. The purpose is to render to the screen some <div> statements which is typical for DHTML.
before the Document.write statement (for testing I placed an alert()? and after a for loop where the document exits I placed another alert(); to signifiy that the code was executing.
For all intents and purposes the code looks similar to this.
.
.
.
alert(“start Document Write.”);
var divOpenHTML = “<div>”;
var divCloseHTML = “</div>”;
document.write(divOpenHTML);
for (x=0; x<100; x++)
{
document.write (“line ” + x + divOpenHTML + “<someText>” + divCloseHTML);
}
document.write(divCloseHTML);
alert(“done rendering document writes”);
.
.
.
The problem is that the Document.write(…); statement does not seem to execute at all. The alerts fire, and everything appears to run without error; but the code never renders to screen. Essentially somehow I have nullified the Document.write function all together, and I can’t figure out what I did.
I am looking for any ideas, suggestions, or knowledges on known Document.write errors?
For the record I used the evaluator at [url]http://www.w3schools.com/js/tryit.asp?filename=tryjs_text
use the following code
<code>
<html>
<head>
<script type=”text/javascript”>
function a()
{
document.write(“<DIV style=’border:1px solid #000000;’>”);
for (y=0;y<100; y++)
{
for (x=0;x<200; x++)
{
document.write(“line ” + x + “, ”
+ y + ” write to doc directly!<BR>”);
}
}
document.write(“</DIV>”);
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
this is test data<BR><BR>
<script type=”text/javascript”>
document.open();
document.write(“writeing to document directly! Open”);
</script>
<div onClick=”a()”>!!!!!!!Write to document !!!!!!!</div>
<script type=”text/javascript”>
document.write(“writeing to document directly! Close”);
document.close();
</script>
</body>
</html>
