Can I add a SWF to a .js file using document.write?

I’m curious…

Is it possible to add a whole <object> tag and all the elements inside to an external javascript file using document.write?

I have this flash poll that I want to use on my website… but I want it to appear on all the pages and I will be changing that poll weekly… so I thought I’d throw that in a javascript file using document.write…

Could that work or does anyone have any other ideas?

Thanks!

Avoid innerHTML and DOM-script it (e.g. var obj = document.createElement('object'); document.appendChild(obj); obj.src = ........ etc).

Thanks for the info! I've never heard of that before and I'm looking forward to trying it out later today!
